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

purposeAlthough the effects of yoga on psychiatric symptoms in psychiatric care are gaining increasing recognition, research within forensic psychiatric care, particularly on subjective experiences, remains limited. To address this gap, the present study aims to describe patients' experience of trauma-adapted yoga (TAY) as a health-promoting activity in forensic psychiatric care.

methodsTwelve individual semi-structured interviews with patients in forensic psychiatric care were conducted, and data were analysed using inductive content analysis.

findingsThe patients' experience of TAY as a health-promoting activity was captured in an overarching theme, "To feel that one is connected to mind, body, and soul in a way that can promote a sense of well-being in an uncertain existence". This overarching theme contained four themes:

conclusionThe findings emphasize that TAY has the potential to be a valuable health-promoting activity for patients in forensic psychiatric care by facilitating their resources to manage stressors in everyday life. Therefore, it should be offered as a complement to other treatments to promote patients' health and well-being in forensic psychiatric care.
