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

Background: This study investigates the neuromuscular control strategies and motor expertise underlying complex yoga movements by comparing expert ( Methods: Utilizing musculoskeletal modeling and surface electromyography (sEMG), we examined how internal coordination adapts to varying task demands. Results: While the STT imposed significantly higher mechanical demands-evidenced by greater peak trunk rotation ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that motor expertise in yoga is not defined by observable movement outcomes, but by the optimization of internal motor representations and the strategic recruitment of musculature to manage spinal stability.
