Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundApproximately 40% of medical students in Mexico experience academic burnout syndrome (ABS), highlighting the lack of institutional strategies to prevent or mitigate this phenomenon, leaving students vulnerable. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a yoga-based intervention (YBI) in medical students with ABS. MATERIALS AND
methodsA quasi-experimental study was designed for medical students whose burnout levels were assessed using the MBI-SS. Subsequently, those students with ABS participated in an YBI for six weeks, with a weekly session of 60 minutes, incorporating postures, body movements, and guided breathing to induce a meditative state and deep relaxation. At the end of the intervention, burnout levels were reassessed. Qualitative variables were analyzed as frequencies and percentages, while quantitative variables were analyzed as means and standard errors of the mean. Paired samples
resultsThe prevalence of ABS was found to be 10.6%. After YBI, 87.5% of students showed changes in scores across all dimensions of ABS, emotional exhaustion decreased from 20.13 ± 0.9 to 12.38 ± 1.9 (
conclusionsYBI was effective in reducing ABS scores in medical students, consistent with public health goals. Further studies are needed, and consideration should be given to incorporating wellness programs as an integral part of medical education to address mental health issues are recommended.
