Lipi Guben decoction in treating diarrheal irritable bowel syndrome: A study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder. The global incidence of IBS is as high as 9% to 23%, accounting for about 50% of outpatients in gastroenterology, and the new case detection rate is 0.2% every year. IBS has become a global gastrointestinal functional disease. Although IBS is not a life-threatening disease, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients, causing huge economic and mental burden to individuals, society and families. Lipi Guben decoction (LPGBD) is an important auxiliary treatment for IBS, but lack of robust Evidence-based medicine evidence proving its efficacy. Therefore, we designed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LPGBD in the treatment of IBS.
methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, a total of 100 eligible patients will be allocated to the blank control group or LPGBD group in a ratio of 1:1. The treatment period was 12 weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the total clinical effective rate. The Secondary outcomes will include IBS clinical symptom scores, IBS-Severity Scoring System, IBS-Quality of life, Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, and Bristol Stool Form Scale. The safety outcome will include Echocardiogram, blood examination (including blood routine test, liver function test, and renal function test), urine routine test and stool routine test. The evaluation indicators and all safety results will be performed at baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12.
resultsThis study will be helpful to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LPGBD in the treatment of IBS.
conclusionLPGBD may improve the clinical efficacy of patients with IBS, which has important value in practical application.
