Effects of a yoga-based intervention program on psychological immunity and life satisfaction among armed forces personnel of India: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundPersonnel in the armed forces experience high levels of stress, danger, and trauma that can adversely impact their mental and emotional health. The armed forces organisations must prioritise preventive and proactive measures to improve the mental and emotional health of their personnel. Improving the psychological immunity of the armed forces personnel will help them handle the stress they experience daily and enhance their life satisfaction. The main objectives of this study were to assess the effects of a yoga-based intervention program on psychological immunity and life satisfaction among active armed forces personnel in India and to study the relationship between psychological immunity and life satisfaction.
methodsA pre-test-post-test control group design was adopted for the study. We have screened 50 samples for this study, and 42 (M
resultsA significant enhancement in psychological immunity (p < 0.01) and life satisfaction (p < 0.01) was observed in the yoga group. Also, a substantial improvement in all the components of psychological immunity, viz., self-confidence (p < 0.01), total adjustment (p < 0.01), emotional maturity (p < 0.01), and psychological well-being (p < 0.01), was found in the yoga group. In contrast, no such difference was obtained in the control group. Also, a significant positive correlation was found between total adjustment and life satisfaction (r = .32).
conclusionThese results revealed that the yoga-based intervention program significantly enhanced the armed forces personnel's psychological immunity and life satisfaction. Results also suggest promising implications for policymakers aimed at improving armed forces personnel's overall health and optimal functioning.
