The Effects of Hatha Yoga on Anthropometric and Psychological Indices among Retired Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of yoga. 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: Aging is accompanied by various physiological and psychological changes that necessitate focused attention on both physical and mental health. Hatha yoga, a safe and nonpharmacological intervention, has shown promise in promoting overall well-being in older adults. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effects of Hatha yoga on anthropometric and psychological parameters in retired women attending the Retirement Center of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: In this two-arm randomized controlled trial, 64 retired women over the age of 60 years were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group using a 1:1 parallel design. The intervention group attended Hatha yoga sessions once a week for 8 weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Anthropometric measurements (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]) and psychological assessments (depression, anxiety, and stress) were recorded at baseline, 1 month, and 2 months postintervention. Results: All 64 participants completed the study. Repeated-measures ANOVA (SPSS v16.0) revealed significant reductions in stress ( Conclusion: An 8-week Hatha yoga program effectively reduces stress, anxiety, WC, and WHR in healthy retired women, supporting its role as a beneficial intervention for promoting health in the elderly.
