Teaching Group Yoga-For-Wellness Classes via Video-Based Telehealth: Perspectives From Veterans Health Administration Yoga Teachers.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Online yoga offers significant potential for healthcare systems. As efforts to incorporate online yoga in healthcare settings have grown, research in this area has mostly focused on the perspectives of patients and clinicians. Although yoga teachers are crucial to the implementation and delivery of telehealth yoga (tele-yoga), their views on this topic have not yet been adequately considered. This study examined the perspectives of Veterans Health Administration (VA) yoga teachers regarding a VA Office of Rural Health-funded multi-site tele-yoga implementation study. Objectives: This qualitative study aims to explore VA yoga teachers' perspectives and experiences with regards to implementing and delivering synchronous, remote, group yoga-for-wellness classes via video-based telehealth and provide lessons learned. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with 13 yoga teachers from 6 different VA healthcare systems included in a multi-site tele-yoga implementation study. Interviews covered experience with teaching in an online format, program implementation and delivery, and equity considerations. Interviews were conducted and recorded using Microsoft Teams. Transcripts were coded using MAXQDA 2022 and analyzed via thematic content analysis. Results: VA tele-yoga teachers identified 4 categories impacting tele-yoga implementation and delivery: (1) equipment and information technology needs; (2) physical space (particularly for teachers teaching onsite in a hospital or clinic setting); (3) accessibility and safety; and (4) administrative responsibilities and end-user support. Findings highlight key considerations and potential solutions for teachers and healthcare settings, and resources needed to provide a safe, accessible, and effective experience for participants. Conclusion: Learning from tele-yoga teachers' experiences at VA can inform best practices for teaching yoga to groups in a synchronous, remote, online format within healthcare settings. The ways in which VA tele-yoga teachers surmounted barriers and harnessed opportunities for success can inform program recommendations as tele-yoga programs expand across VA and become incorporated in other healthcare systems and facilities.
