Determining the effect of yoga exercises on psychological health and childbirth trauma in pregnant women: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07031622 (Determining the Effect of Yoga Exercises on Psychological Health and Childbirth Trauma in Pregnant Women), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of yoga exercises on psychological health during pregnancy and their role in reducing childbirth trauma.
methodsA pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial design was used. The sample included 64 pregnant women who applied to a maternity hospital in XXX province between November 2023 and November 2024. Inclusion criteria were being over 18 years of age, at least 16 weeks pregnant, without a psychiatric diagnosis, or a high-risk pregnancy. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 34). The intervention group received 45-minute yoga sessions twice a week for 5 weeks (10 sessions total), in addition to birth preparation training given to both groups. Data were collected before and after the program. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (20 June 2025, Identifier: NCT07031622).
resultsThe yoga intervention significantly improved psychological resilience in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a marked increase in BPSR scores from pretest to posttest (M = 17.60 ± 3.59 to 23.13 ± 3.85; t = − 6.63, p < .001, d = 1.21). Significant reductions were observed in state anxiety (56.50 ± 14.40 to 43.90 ± 4.31; p < .001) and trait anxiety (59.37 ± 10.27 to 51.83 ± 10.75; p < .001) following the intervention. Traumatic childbirth perception scores decreased significantly over time in the intervention group (F = 56.26, p < 0.001, η² = 0.66), while scores increased in the control group. Postpartum assessments showed significantly lower childbirth trauma and post-traumatic stress scores in the intervention group compared to controls (p < 0.05).
conclusionYoga is an effective method to reduce childbirth-related trauma and strengthen psychological resilience during pregnancy. Integrating yoga into prenatal care programs can improve maternal mental health and birth outcomes. Health professionals should consider recommending yoga as part of comprehensive prenatal support
