Serenity in Struggle: A Systematic Review on the Impact of Yoga on Quality of Life in Cancer Patients.
Review in International journal of yoga. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Cancer is a life-altering diagnosis that profoundly impacts patients' physical health and their quality of life (QoL). Complementary therapies like yoga have gained attention for their potential to alleviate these adverse effects and improve well-being. However, its integration into cancer care remains limited due to insufficient evidence and guidelines. By systematically reviewing the literature, this study aims to identify if there is a benefit of yoga in improving QoL parameters such as sleep, pain index, depression, and anxiety. This review is based on the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines. For this review, we searched the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases and screened them for full free texts published in English and studied in humans in the last 5 years, beginning in 2019. The articles included in the search are randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nonrandomized control trials, mixed studies, observational studies, meta-analysis studies, systematic reviews, and traditional reviews. Our systematic review consists of 6 RCTs, 1 meta-analysis, and 1 observational study. The studies included yoga intervention in different cancers and their effects on sleep, depression, pain, QoL, fatigue, anxiety, and inflammatory cytokines. Nonpharmacological interventions like yoga are essential for improving the QoL in cancer patients. The heterogeneity in yoga protocols and the limited sample sizes of included studies suggest further research.
