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
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-20 % of women of reproductive age, with reproductive, metabolic, endocrine, and psychological consequences. Lifestyle interventions such as yoga provide safe, low-cost, and sustainable therapy. In this study, 25 women with PCOS underwent a 12-week yoga program (Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation) without concurrent therapy. Yoga improved menstrual regularity, normalized hormonal and metabolomic profiles. Biochemical analysis revealed reduced oxidative stress, enhanced mitochondrial function, improved insulin signaling, and decreased inflammation. Hormonal assays showed reduced luteinizing hormone (LH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone, with increased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Metabolomic improvements included reductions in glucose, fructose, d-ribose, xanthine, cholesterol, triglycerides, and body weight. These findings highlight yoga's potential to target core PCOS pathophysiology and support its use as a cost-effective, non-pharmacological, and sustainable therapy inn management of PCOS.
