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
backgroundSolitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a rare rectal disorder characterized by bloody mucus in the stool, difficulty in defecation, pain, and anal swelling. To date, the etiology of this syndrome remains not well understood and the diagnosis is frequently confused with other disorders, making treatment a clinical challenge. CASE SUMMARY: A 50-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a 40-d history of bloody mucus in the stool and anal swelling. SRUS was suspected. Rectoscopy revealed a large, severe ulcerous lesion. Histologically, the lesion was characterized as chronic ulcer without clear tumor cells, and the final diagnosis of SRUS was made. The patient was treated with Chinese medicine therapy, with administration of Tong Xie Yao Fang. After 3 wk of treatment, the symptoms improved significantly. At 2-mo follow-up, rectoscopy in a local hospital showed healed ulcer scars without obvious protrusion 3 cm from the anal verge.
conclusionChinese medicine therapy represents a potential treatment of SRUS with predominant rectal bleeding, mucinous discharge, and anal swelling pain.
