PATH Trial for Examining Yoga as a Strategy to Improve Remote-Based Weight Loss in Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06166225 (A Remote-based Yoga Intervention for Improving Long-term Weight Loss), 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
Background: Over 70% of US adults are overweight or have obesity. Internet-delivered weight loss (IDWL) treatment overcomes many common barriers to in-person weight loss (WL) programs; yet, IDWLs underperform compared to in-person treatment. Yoga is a novel intervention that targets physical and psychological health and can be delivered virtually, increasing translation potential. Yoga has been understudied as an intervention to address barriers to WL despite favorable effects in other health disciplines. Preliminary studies suggest yoga to improve self-regulation and reduce lapses from dietary recommendations, 2 factors integral to long-term WL success. Objective: The aim of the study is to conduct the first fully powered randomized controlled trial to test the added effect of yoga to IDWL treatment on weight (primary outcome), dietary lapses, potential lapse triggers, and self-regulation mediator variables (secondary outcomes). Methods: Adults that are overweight or have obesity will be recruited to participate in a 12-month IDWL program. Following a 3-month assessment, eligible participants will be randomized to (1) a yoga intervention, including 14 weeks of group-based, virtual Iyengar yoga delivered twice weekly, followed by 22 weeks of yoga delivered once per week, and then 6 months of no contact, or (2) a contact-matched wellness comparison condition. Assessments will take place at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months. Several questionnaires, ecological momentary assessments, and objectively measured weight and accelerometry data will be collected. This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06166225). Results: This randomized trial was funded with an original project period of July 2023-June 2028. Enrollment began in February 2024 and is ongoing with the expectation of closing enrollment in June 2026. Conclusions: This trial will examine the combined effect of yoga and WL treatment among individuals with overweight or obesity and will be the first fully powered trial to assess the combination of virtually delivered yoga and WL beyond 6 months. Findings will inform whether yoga could be considered a valuable intervention component for improving IDWL treatment.
