Long-term maintenance of nutritional status with ninjinyoueito in terminal patients with chronic respiratory disease: Two case reports.
Article in Biomedical reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ninjinyoeito, is a traditional herbal (Kampo) medicine which is administered to patients with debilitating diseases in North-East Asia. Ninjinyoeito has been reported to be effective against loss of physical strength, fatigue and loss of appetite in patients with wasting diseases. The present study described long-term maintenance of body weight with ninjinyoueito in 2 terminal patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The first patient was a 75-year-old with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who took ninjinyoueito for ≥5 years and the second patient was a 72-year-old man with metastatic lung cancer with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) who took ninjinyoueito for ≥1 year. Both of them maintained their physique and nutritional status during the terminal stages of disease and there were no adverse effects observed in these 2 patients which could be attributed to ninjinyoueito. The results suggest that ninjinyoueito may be a supplementary treatment for the maintenance of nutritional status in patients with a chronic respiratory disease accompanied by wasting, such as COPD.
