Dude, that's their research question. You can argue that they could have a different research question but they've used a good method for this one, and its a legitimate research question to have.

Yeah - throwing out allegations of corruption should be done very cautiously. Yet you often see people on this sub accusing scientists of corruption, sadly without even reading and understanding the study.
And I strongly doubt many people who have accused the scientists of corruption have contacted the editors because deep down they know their accusations are spurious. I can only imagine how these authors feel when reading this sub....

Reply to comment by Brain_Hawk in A systematic review and meta-analysis finds yoga has a moderately positive effect on the improvement of depressive symptoms but also their severity. by empty-ego
Yeah - I had a good look at the inclusion criteria and the table of included studies. Lots of them did not have any kind of active control eg waitlist control or none). Therefore we don't really know if yoga is better for these symptoms than just reading a book or stretching or going for a run - or even just doing something new (Hawthorne effect).
