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

backgroundThe Government of India recently prioritized integration of yoga in subcenters from the National Program for Health Care of the Elderly but standardized protocols for older adults are unavailable.

methodsFrom April-December 2022, 45 stakeholders from the Indian health system including community health workers, physicians, yoga instructors and health officials were recruited for focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) to understand how a yoga intervention for older Indians could be implemented within the healthcare system.

resultsYoga was widely considered by stakeholders as a holistic, multidimensional practice. Opinions were mixed on advantages of yoga for aging and mobility issues. Age-related physiological and biomechanical changes in physical health, and motor deficits were especially concerning. Health workers and providers expressed the need for infrastructure and expert instructors to implement a yoga intervention.

conclusionsImplementation research and adaptation of yoga for older adults are needed before delivering an intervention within the government's national program.
