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

Background: Adolescent aggression is a significant public mental health concern associated with long-term behavioral, educational, and social outcomes. In rural and resource-constrained settings, limited access to specialized psychosocial services highlights the need for feasible, community-based preventive approaches. Yoga has been associated with improvements in emotional regulation and self-control; however, structured practitioner-informed guidance for delivering yoga in adolescent group settings, particularly in contexts involving aggression risk, remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to (i) explore the experiential perspectives of yoga trainers involved in adolescent instruction and (ii) translate these perspectives into a practitioner-informed framework and practice-oriented guidance for delivering yoga sessions that support emotional regulation and aggression management among rural youth. Methods: A qualitative descriptive, survey-based design was employed. An open-ended, semi-structured online questionnaire was administered to 36 purposively selected yoga trainers (YT) in India with experience teaching adolescents; 31 complete responses were analyzed. Data were analyzed using hybrid deductive-inductive reflexive thematic analysis to identify themes related to yoga delivery, adolescent engagement, and emotional regulation. Results: Nine major thematic domains emerged, addressing developmental characteristics of adolescence, rural contextual constraints, pedagogical adaptations, appropriate Conclusion: This study proposes a practitioner-informed framework for delivering group-based yoga sessions that support emotional regulation and aggression management among rural adolescents. The findings translate trainer experiences into practice-oriented guidance for implementing structured yoga programs in school and community settings.
