Bodily differences between Cold- and Heat-prescription groups in Sasang medicine.
Article in Integrative medicine research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundIn Sasang medicine, patients are treated with herbal prescriptions based on Cold-Heat patterns induced by conditions of physiological equilibrium among internal organs, which also induce differences in body circumferences. The objective of the current study was to elucidate the relationship between Cold- and Heat-prescription types and body circumferences.
methodsData from suitable subjects (115 males and 222 females) were collected, and the body circumferences were compared according to their Cold- and Heat-prescription grouping. For male subjects with significant body circumference differences between the Cold- and Heat-prescription groups, the body circumference ratios were analyzed by comparing the differences between these groups using ranked analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
resultsIn men, consistent differences were observed in the body circumference measures and ratios between the Cold- and Heat-prescription groups. The Heat-prescription groups showed greater abdominal circumferences, notably demonstrated by a higher rib-to-pelvic circumference ratio in the Tae-Eum (TE) type (p = 0.041) and a higher chest-to-hip circumference ratio in the So-Yang (SY) type (p = 0.087).
conclusionIn the SY-type men, the chest circumference was significantly greater in the Heat-prescription group compared to the Cold-prescription group. In the TE-type men, the rib-to-pelvic circumference ratio was significantly higher in the Heat-prescription group than in the Cold-prescription group.
