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
Introduction: The treatment of patients in Short-Stay Psychiatric Units (SSPUs) requires a holistic approach that promotes overall health, enhances patients' personal resources, and supports adaptation to daily life, thereby contributing to a more humane inpatient experience. The role of mental health professionals must extend beyond a traditional symptom-focused approach, with the therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy to provide a safe and trusting environment that enables patients to enhance self-confidence and actively engage in recovery. Preliminary evidence suggests yoga may improve functional outcomes and hospitalization experience. Methods: This study examined the differential effect of a yoga intervention implemented as an adjunct to comprehensive patient care in the SSPU of the Insular Maternal and Child University Hospital Complex of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. The sample comprised 100 patients (52 in the experimental group and 48 in the control group) who completed the Distress Thermometer, the EuroQoL EQ-5D-5L Health Questionnaire, the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), and an open-ended questionnaire assessing treatment satisfaction. Results: Statistically significant improvements were observed following the comprehensive intervention, including reductions in perceived stress and health and functional problems, as well as improvements in self-rated overall health. At the between-group level, the experimental group showed significantly greater improvement in the self-care dimension of the EuroQoL EQ-5D-5L and higher overall treatment satisfaction on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire. Patients' qualitative descriptions characterized yoga as a beneficial component of care, contributing to relaxation, emotional regulation, feelings of peace and safety, and improved communication and empathy. Co-occurrence analysis suggests that these experiences, together with body awareness, are closely interrelated, reflecting experiential patterns rather than distinct therapeutic mechanisms. Discussion: This study shows that integrating a yoga-based intervention into comprehensive inpatient care is feasible, well-received, and valued by patients, supporting its potential as a complementary therapeutic activity.
