1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Chinese medicine (CM) basic theory differs substantially from modern medicine in methodology. CM views the healthy human body as an entity in yinyang equilibrium. CM practitioners typically diagnose patients with "Zheng (CM syndrome)"-yin-yang status of specific organs, and the ultimate goal of treatment in CM is to restore the yin-yang balance. This concept might seem strange to Western perceptions; however, CM philosophy and methodology have been gradually accepted and used in the West. There is growing evidence from prestigious worldwide journals like Nature, Science and Cell indicating that CM theory is becoming an important component in dealing with health issues in the West.
