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
Adolescent athletes encounter compounded academic and competitive pressures that may elevate psychological distress and affect physiological recovery. Yoga, a structured mind-body practice integrating physical postures, breathing regulation, and meditative practices, represents a potentially accessible strategy for supporting psychological well-being and selected physiological indices in youth sport contexts. To evaluate the effects of an eight-week structured yoga intervention on psychological distress, mental well-being, and physiological regulation in competitive teenage athletes. Eighty-eight district-level teenage athletes (male: 52, female: 36; mean age 15.8 ± 1.4 years) were randomly allocated to a yoga intervention group (n = 44) or a wait-list control group (n = 44). The intervention comprised daily 60-min sessions (six days/week) of asana, pranayama, and dhyana over eight weeks. Psychological outcomes were assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) and the Mental Health Inventory-56 (MHI-56). Physiological outcomes included resting heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
