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: Lung fibrosis during COVID-19 infection has posed long-term changes in COVID-19 survivors that lead to deranged pulmonary function, and some alternative rehabilitative measures were needed for a faster recovery. Limited studies have shown the effect of yoga as rehabilitative therapy on altered pulmonary functions in COVID-19 survivors. Objective: To analyze the rehabilitating effect of a selective yoga regime on the altered pulmonary functions of COVID-19 survivors. Materials and Method: It was a follow-up, comparative study based on a tertiary care center in Central India. The enrolled participants underwent clinical and pulmonary function evaluation at the outpatient medicine and pulmonary department of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Bhopal, India). A total of 82 COVID-19 survivors with deranged pulmonary functions were enrolled for rehabilitation with selective yoga regime After the 8-week selective yoga regime rehabilitation, their pulmonary functions were evaluated and analyzed, with the help of an NDD digital computerized spirometer (NDD Meditechnik AG, Switzerland). Results: Selective yoga regime as rehabilitation showed a significant improvement after 8 weeks of yogic intervention that can be explained by almost all significantly improved PFT parameters except for the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1s and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ( Conclusion: A selective yoga regimen may be used for long-term sequelae or speeded recovery in pulmonary functions affected with COVID 19 or similar infection.
