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
aimThis study examined the effectiveness of oncology yoga and mindfulness-based meditation (OY and MB) intervention on sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. This study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, with a primary focus on quantitative analysis.
methodsThe study was conducted from October 2021 to February 2022, involving 90 patients. Online OY & MB sessions were held over 12 weeks. Data were collected using the Brief Fatigue Inventory, Piper Fatigue Inventory, European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and a patient information form. Three focus group interviews were conducted online to collect qualitative data.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 50.57 Å} 10.74 years, and 50.0% were women. After the intervention, significant differences were observed in the post-test scores of Brief Fatigue (t = -5.22), Piper Fatigue (t = -3.72), Sleep Quality (t = -3.54), and Quality of Life (t = -3.41) in the intervention group (p < .001). Participants reported enhanced physical and psychological relaxation, a greater sense of well-being, and perceived benefits from the supportive group environment.
conclusionYoga and meditation may play a pivotal role in significantly ameliorating fatigue, sleep problems, and subjective conditions that adversely impact the quality of life of CRC patients. Medical challenges, technological limitations, and accessibility issues were also stated as difficulties in attending yoga and meditation practices.
