Effects of cyclic yoga on selected metabolic and hepatic parameters in diabetic women with fatty liver diseases: A clinical trial.
Article in Journal of clinical & translational endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease increase cardiometabolic risk. This randomized controlled trial assessed the effects of cyclic yoga, a structured asana sequence, on anthropometric, glycemic, lipid, and hepatic parameters in overweight women with both conditions. Methods: Forty overweight women (mean age 50.5 ± 5.5 years) with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were randomized to either an eight-week cyclic yoga intervention (three sessions/week) or a control group maintaining usual activities. Pre- and post-intervention, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, lipid profile, liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase), anthropometric parameters were measured and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The cyclic yoga group showed significant reductions in fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, weight, body mass index, hip circumference, waist circumference, with increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to control group. Conclusions: Cyclic yoga appears to improve glycemic control, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, and anthropometric indices in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. These findings suggest that cyclic yoga may be a safe, practical, and cost-effective complementary therapy to improve metabolic and hepatic health in this high-risk population, although larger and longer term studies are warranted.
