Yoga therapy for mental resilience in technology-driven occupational settings: A qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis.
Review in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine, 2026. 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
Mental health concerns among individuals working in technology-driven occupational settings have emerged as a major workplace challenge. Persistent cognitive demands, prolonged screen exposure, sedentary work patterns, and psychosocial stressors are associated with burnout, sleep disturbance, emotional dysregulation, and reduced resilience. Emerging evidence suggests that yoga therapy (YT) may represent a promising mind-body approach for supporting stress regulation and psychophysiological balance in cognitively demanding work environments. This qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis examined mechanistic and applied evidence related to yoga-based interventions in technology-related and comparable workplace populations. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar (2010-2025). Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, workplace intervention studies, mechanistic physiological investigations, observational studies, and relevant systematic reviews examining outcomes related to stress, autonomic function, emotional well-being, cognitive performance, and occupational health. Due to substantial heterogeneity across study designs, interventions, and outcome measures, findings were synthesized qualitatively. The included evidence suggests that YT may support autonomic regulation, heart rate variability modulation, and stress adaptation. Workplace-based interventions were generally associated with favorable trends in perceived stress reduction, sleep quality, emotional well-being, cognitive functioning, and occupational satisfaction. Brief yoga-based micro-practices also appeared feasible for workplace stress management and attentional recovery. Classical yogic concepts, including sattva and prāṇa vāta regulation, provide an interpretive framework for understanding the multidimensional effects of YT. Overall, yoga-based interventions may represent a promising integrative strategy for resilience-related outcomes in technology-driven occupational settings. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously because of methodological heterogeneity and limited occupation-specific evidence. This review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251240676).
