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

Mandela Yoga Project aims to improve health outcomes and reduce costs for communities with lived experience of chronic illness and systemic racism. Codeveloped with diverse staff at a safety-net health center, the Mandela Yoga Group Medical Visit model was piloted (n = 32) in two five- to six-week groups for patients with multiple chronic conditions. We report qualitative and quantitative findings (reduced pain, increased belonging, healing relationships), and discuss systems alignment to scale this peer-led, trauma-informed, culturally resonant public health intervention.
