Effectiveness of Yoga-based guided meditation In Improving the quality of sleep in patients with coronary artery disease: The Yoga Nidra Trial.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2027. 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: Poor sleep quality has emerged as a risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and is also associated with poor prognosis and increased mortality. Sleep aids, among CAD patients, lead to increased heart failure, hospitalisation, and mortality. Yoga Nidra, a form of guided meditation, has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration. The aim of the study is to evaluate the adjunctive effect of Yoga Nidra on actigraphy-measured sleep quality parameters, psychological outcomes, and health-related quality of life in patients with CAD. Methods: This is a two-arm,1:1 allocation, randomised, controlled, open-label, blinded-endpoint, single-centre trial conducted in a tertiary care hospital between 22-9-2021 and 30-03-2024.144 out of 678 consecutively screened patients with stable CAD and poor sleep quality met the eligibility criteria and were enrolled. Participants were randomised to either a 35-minute, 12-week Yoga Nidra intervention group (n = 72) or a standard care group (n = 72) with sleep hygiene counselling imparted to all patients.The primary outcome was to assess actigraphy-measured sleep efficiency. Secondary outcomes included assessments of actigraphy-derived sleep parameters, ambulatory blood pressure (BP), echocardiographic diastolic function (E/E'), psychological health, and quality-of-life evaluations using validated scales. Results: The Yoga Nidra group exhibited significant improvements in sleep efficiency (82% [76-86] vs. 64% [57-74]; p < 0.05), total sleep time (357 ± 99 min vs. 298 ± 83 min; p < 0.05), reduced sleep latency (15 [11-24] vs. 30 [14-70] min; p < 0.05), and lower wake after sleep onset (48 [28-67] vs. 67 [37-119] min; p < 0.05). Significant improvements were also observed in perceived stress, depression levels, and quality of life. Conclusion: Yoga Nidra is effective in improving sleep quality inpatients with coronary artery disease.Stress, depression, and health-related quality of life also improved with Yoga Nidra.
