1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Emotional intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability of a person to understand and respond to one's own and others' emotions and use this ability to guide one's thoughts and actions. Stress is defined as a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the level of EI and perceived stress before and after yoga training among medical students in Puducherry. Materials and Methods: A nonrandomized interventional trial was conducted at the School of Yoga Therapy, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Puducherry, involving 30 healthcare students (22 female and 8 male), with a mean age of 21.63 ± 1.95. Approved by the institutional ethics committee, the 6-week yoga program was held at Patanjali Yogashala on weekdays. EI and perceived stress were measured pre- and post-intervention using validated questionnaires. Results: The mean age of participants was 21.63 ± 1.95 years, with 73.3% females and 26.7% males. Initially, perceived stress and EI had a weak negative correlation ( Conclusion: This interventional trial with yoga therapy has shown a reduction in perceived stress levels and an increase in certain components of EI among medical college students in Puducherry. This study highlights the supremacy of Yoga therapy in achieving mental and psychosocial well-being.
