1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Novel interventions are needed to manage treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined as patients who do not respond to two or more antidepressant trials of adequate dose and duration. We report on a 28-year-old female with TRD with nonresponse to several adequate trials of antidepressants who experienced full symptomatic remission after participating in the heated hatha yoga (HY) arm of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for depression. Patients, including the one of interest, were randomized to 8 weeks of at least twice weekly HY or an 8-week waitlist followed by 8 weeks of HY. HY incorporates yoga plus heat through a series of standardized poses performed in a heated room (105° F). The 30-item Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, Clinician-Rated (IDS-C
