Autonomic recovery following submaximal exercise in yoga practitioners versus aerobic and strength-trained individuals.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundRapid autonomic recovery after physical stress is a hallmark of cardiovascular health. While both yoga and conventional exercise modulate autonomic function, direct comparisons of their effect on post-exercise recovery are scarce. This study compared autonomic recovery in yoga practitioners versus those in aerobic or resistance training.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 51 healthy adults (18-35 years) in three long-term training groups: Yoga (
resultsAfter adjusting for baseline differences, the Yoga group showed a more efficient autonomic recovery profile. ANCOVA revealed a significant group effect on vagal reactivation, as measured by High-Frequency (HF) power (
conclusionRegular yoga practice is associated with more efficient parasympathetic reactivation after physical exertion. This suggests yoga's integrative nature is associated with unique advantages for autonomic strength compared to conventional aerobic and strength training.
