Number of systematic reviews included 147
Summary of Findings From 147 included systematic reviews identified from a larger sample of 322 meta-research projects on the use of yoga for health. Most reviews (116/147; 79%) did not mention the existence of either a protocol or registration. Some reviews mentioned a protocol without providing a link or other means of access (16/147)., or mentioned registration and provided a citation to a publication (1/147) or mentioned registration and provided a PROSPERO registration number (14/147). Only 10% of reviews provided access to a protocol overall (10%). Most included reviews published in2010 or later (97/139) cited PRISMA guidance but the relationship between mentioning or citing PRISMA and providing an accessible protocol or registration was not statistically significant.
