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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aims to determine the effects of the Jianpi Qingchang decoction (JQD) on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with spleen deficiency and dampness-heat syndrome ulcerative colitis (UC).A total of 120 active UC patients with spleen deficiency and dampness-heat syndrome were enrolled into this study. These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: test group and control group (n = 60, each group). Patients in the test group were treated with JQD, while patients in control group were treated with 5-amino salicylic acid. After treatment for 8 weeks, differences in inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ) scores, short form-36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) scores, and Sutherland Disease Activity Index (DAI) values were compared between these 2 groups to assess the QOL of patients.Sutherland DAI scores decreased in both groups after the treatment, but the difference was not statistically significant (P < .05). However, the difference in bowel symptoms, systemic symptoms, total scores of the 4 IBDQ dimensions (physical function, bodily pain, vitality, and mental health), and total scores of the SF-36 questionnaires between these 2 groups were statistically significant (P < .05).JQD can be used as supplementary and alternative therapy to relieve clinical symptoms in patients with mild to moderate active UC, and consequently improve their QOL.
