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
This case study discusses how a month-long, personalized yoga therapy program impacted a 57-year-old woman with lung cancer that had spread to her brain, who is currently receiving palliative care. Her yoga routine included gentle exercises (Sukshma Vyayama), breathing techniques (Pranayama), and meditation, which were suitable to fit her physical abilities. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) scale was used to measure her quality of life, revealing significant improvements in her well-being. She showed improvement in mobility, respiratory function, and emotional stability, as well as reduced lung cancer-related symptoms. Yoga's holistic approach not only supported her physical health but also enhanced her emotional and spiritual wellness, leading to a higher quality of life during her care. These results suggest that yoga therapy could be a valuable, non-invasive addition to palliative care, providing comfort and tailored support for patients with terminal illnesses.
