Effect of an eight-week yoga program on adolescents with Internet Gaming Disorder in an Indian school setting: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is increasingly prevalent among adolescents, leading to psychological, social, and academic challenges. Yoga has demonstrated benefits in stress reduction, emotional regulation, attentional control, and overall well-being. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an eight-week Integrated Yoga Module in reducing Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and associated psychological distress among adolescents in a school setting. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 120 adolescents meeting criteria for IGD were allocated to either yoga group ( Results: Significant Group × Time interactions were observed across all IGDS symptom domains (salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse; all Conclusion: An eight-week Integrated Yoga practice demonstrated significant improvements in IGD symptoms, emotional distress, quality of life, and cognitive-emotional functioning compared with a control group. Yoga may represent a feasible and scalable complementary intervention for adolescents with IGD. Future trials incorporating active comparators and long-term follow-up are warranted.
