Yoga and nutritional therapies for promoting health-related quality of life in persons with metabolic syndrome-An interventional observational study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: A group of related risk factors known as central obesity, elevated blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, elevated triglycerides (TGs), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are collectively referred to as metabolic syndrome (MetS). A low quality of life (QoL) in terms of health is linked to MetS. This study sought to determine how lifestyle modifications affected the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of primary care patients with MetS. Materials and Methods: In this study, we randomized 300 subjects diagnosed with MetS as per the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria, into control, yoga, and yoga + diet groups according to their intervention which was given for 6 months. Socio-demographic, anthropometric, and physiological and biochemical parameters were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was also used to assess HRQoL. Results: The results of this study indicate that yoga + diet and yoga intervention led to significant decrease in metabolic risk factors, such as waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), TGs, and increase in HDL at 3 months and 6 months from baseline. SF-36 score also showed increment (from 0 score to 100) at 3 months and 6 months, which indicates improvement in HRQoL. Conclusion: Dietary changes and yoga are useful strategies for reducing the risk of MetS, which improves QoL in relation to health. Incorporating yoga practices and advocating a balanced diet within primary care systems can significantly benefit individuals with or at risk of MetS.
