Comparing shoulder girdle muscle activation during two yoga poses in female athletes with and without scapular dyskinesis.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. 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
Purpose: Many yoga poses involve supporting part or all of the body weight on the shoulder girdle and arms, which impose high loadings on the shoulder girdle. The present study aims to investigate the differences in electromyographic (EMG) activity of shoulder muscles in female yoga athletes with and without scapular dyskinesis (SD) during two yoga poses. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical survey study included 24 female athletes aged 18-40 years with ( Results: The results showed there is no significant difference between the with SD and without SD groups in the activity of the upper trapezius, serratus anterior, posterior deltoid, and teres major muscles during Chakrasana and Pincha Mayurasana poses ( Conclusions: This study suggests that scapular dyskinesis influences the activity of the infraspinatus and lower trapezius muscles during Chakrasana and Pincha Mayurasana poses. The data highlight the importance of targeted neuromuscular interventions to address muscular imbalances in the shoulder complex, especially in populations exposed to overhead and inverted movements, such as yoga practitioners.
