Effect of Yoga on Biomarkers and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia in Participants with Hypertension from India's Central Industrial Security Force.
Article 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
Background: The central industrial security force (CISF) in India works in high-stress conditions, contributing to hypertension among its personnel. This study examined the impact of a yoga intervention on cardiovascular biomarkers among CISF personnel with hypertension. Methods: The randomized controlled trial consisted of 88 male CISF personnel aged 25-60 posted in the Indian Space Research Organization in Bengaluru. The yoga program included loosening exercises, pranayama, asanas, relaxation, and meditation. The intervention was conducted for 1 h daily, 5 days a week for 3 months. Cardiovascular biomarkers, blood pressure (BP), weight, height, and waist circumference were assessed at baseline and postintervention. Results: The yoga group demonstrated significant reductions in systolic BP ( Conclusion: The study has shown the effectiveness of yoga in improving cardiovascular health among CISF personnel with hypertension. Significant reductions were observed in BP, heart rate, and weight. However, the study found nonsignificant changes in inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP and homocysteine. Yoga shows promise as a complementary therapy for managing hypertension alongside conventional treatment.
