Online Yoga Pilot Intervention for Black Women at High Cardiovascular Risk: Internet-Based Recruitment and Engagement.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDisproportionately adverse heart health outcomes in Black women, characterized by high metabolic syndrome prevalence, underscore the need for innovative, accessible interventions. Digital health strategies, particularly web-based yoga videos, show promise for engaging this high-risk group in health-promoting behaviors.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based yoga intervention for community-dwelling Black women, providing preliminary data to inform a larger, mixed methods study on reducing cardiometabolic risks.
methodsIn this 4-week pilot study, grounded in Pender's Health Promotion Model, 28 participants engaged in daily online health education and yoga activities through YouTube videos. Using Fitbit trackers, electronic blood pressure monitors, and web-based logs, the study measured metabolic syndrome risk factors and sedentary behavior. Participant experiences were further explored through postintervention focus groups aiming to contextualize the intervention's impact.
resultsWe enrolled 28 women, with a completion rate of 79% (22/28), demonstrating successful recruitment and retention. Participants were an average age of 43.3 years with a mean BMI of 40.9 kg/m
conclusionsThis pilot study demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally tailored, online yoga intervention among community-based, Black women at high risk for metabolic syndrome, showing promising engagement and potential health benefits. The high rates of participation and completion highlight the intervention's acceptability and the potential for digital platforms to facilitate health behavior changes in high-risk populations. The qualitative findings reveal critical insights into the psychological and social dynamics influencing health behavior change, suggesting the importance of addressing both individual and communal barriers to improve intervention efficacy. Future research should further explore these dynamics in larger, more diverse cohorts to substantiate the intervention's potential in reducing cardiometabolic risks.
