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
Objectives: This study explored the potential impact of a structured yoga program over an 8-week period on aspects of psychological health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among individuals diagnosed with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Methods: A prospective, controlled clinical study was carried out from January 2023 to January 2024. Sixty-nine adults with clinically stable non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis were recruited and assigned randomly to either a yoga intervention group (n = 24) or a control group receiving standard care (n = 45). The yoga group engaged in supervised online sessions three times weekly, while the control group continued with routine clinical management without any added exercise regimen. HRQoL was measured using the Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) questionnaire. Psychological variables were assessed through the Short Form-36 (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Evaluations took place at baseline and after the 8-week period. Statistical analyses were applied based on data distribution, with significance determined at a threshold of Results: Participants undergoing yoga demonstrated notable improvements in select QOL-B domains, particularly in areas such as respiratory symptoms, emotional aspects, and vitality, when compared to the control group ( Conclusion: An 8-week structured yoga program may contribute to improvements in psychological well-being and quality of life among patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Yoga might represent a complementary approach alongside conventional management, though its role requires additional exploration.
