The Effect of Yoga on Women with Postpartum Depression: A Meta-analysis.
Review in International journal of yoga. 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
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common psychological disorder among women after childbirth. As a mind-body practice, yoga has been proposed as a non-pharmacological intervention to alleviate symptoms of PPD. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga in reducing postpartum depression symptoms using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) by synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases including Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP, from their inception to December 2023. Eligible studies were RCTs that assessed the efficacy of yoga on PPD with EPDS as the outcome measure. Two independent reviewers carried out study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model was performed. 6 RCTs were included, involving a total of 443 participants (222 in the yoga group and 221 in the control group). The results indicated that yoga significantly reduced EPDS scores compared with the control group (mean difference = -2.97, 95% confidence interval: -4.72 to -1.23,
