Feasibility and Acceptability of Yoga for Adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

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/
objectivesYoga is effective for adults with arthritis but unstudied in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
methodsA pilot study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week group yoga intervention for adolescents ages 14-18 with JIA. Each 75-min session included breathing techniques, relaxation, mindfulness, and modified yoga postures, using yoga props and a rope wall. An online video was available for home practice. The outcome measures administered at the baseline and at 8 weeks were physician global assessment with joint count, visual assessment with a joint damage assessment index, the Pediatric Quality of Life Arthritis Module 3.0 (Peds QL), and the visual analog scale for pain.
resultsThirteen out of 25 participants attended ≥1 class with a mean of 5.7 ± 2.2 classes. Common reasons for non-enrollment included distance, schedule, and lack of interest. The average distance to classes was 29.0 ± 41.7 miles. There was a trend toward improvement for joint count (
conclusionsAdolescents with JIA who attended yoga reported enjoyment, pain reduction, and interest in continued practice with no adverse events. Future studies should consider stakeholder engagement to reduce barriers and larger sample sizes to test the effectiveness.
