Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Article in Medical acupuncture, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) can present with coexistent subfertility caused by diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Recent texts suggest that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) may improve pregnancy outcomes for women with RPL.
objectiveThis article reports the outcome of the treatment of a female of advanced maternal age. She had diagnoses of DOR and RPL. DESIGN SETTING AND PATIENT: This 42-year-old patient with DOR and RPL presented in a private acupuncture practice, located in Bellevue, WA.
interventionThe patient received TCM treatment that involved weekly acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy from June 2006 to May 2007.
main outcome measuresThe outcome sought was a live birth after 24 weeks of gestation.
resultsAfter another miscarriage in September 2006, this patient conceived a viable pregnancy in December 2006, after 6 months of treatment. She continued treatment through 20 weeks and delivered a healthy son at 39.5 weeks of gestation.
conclusionsSubfertile women with RPL may benefit from TCM treatment. More research is needed to examine the safety and effectiveness of TCM as a treatment for RPL.
