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

Frailty represents diminished reserve across multiple physiologic systems, accompanied by increased vulnerability to stressors and increased morbidity and mortality. With population aging, strategies to prevent and manage frailty are priorities in clinical medicine and public health. Current evidence-based approaches to frailty management are multimodal in nature. Yoga, an increasingly popular and highly adaptable mind-body practice, is multi-component, incorporating physical postures, breathing practices, meditation, and other elements, and may be a strategy for frailty management. Here, we summarize the evidence linking yoga practice to mitigation of age-related degradation across multiple physiologic systems, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. We discuss putative mechanisms of action including modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Finally, we consider implications for clinical practice and future research.
