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
backgroundLung cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide and is associated with various unmet supportive care needs. To address these needs, a 6-week virtual program called Inspire Now was developed, integrating yoga, education, and group support. The primary objective of this mixed-methods observational study was to evaluate the program's impact on quality of life (QOL). Secondary objectives included changes in participant-identified concerns, participants' qualitative experiences, and acceptability of virtual delivery.
methodsEligible participants included people with primary lung cancer enrolled in the program. Questionnaires were administered at baseline and program completion. QOL and patient-identified concerns were evaluated by within-person changes in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L) and Measure Yourself Concerns and Wellbeing (MYCaW). Qualitative experiences and feasibility of virtual delivery were obtained by MYCaW and an internally developed questionnaire. FACT-L and MYCaW were analyzed using paired t-tests, and qualitative data was evaluated by an inductive thematic analysis.
resultsForty-five participants were enrolled and 31 were eligible for analysis. Most were female (87%), had stage IV disease (68%), and were on active treatment (74%). Significant improvements were observed in FACT-General and Lung scores (mean changes: +6.1, 95% CI 2.2- 10.0,
conclusionsA 6-week virtual program of yoga, education, and group support improved QOL, patient-specific concerns, and wellbeing for those with lung cancer.
