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

backgroundWith the increased understanding of heart disease, microvascular angina (MVA) is receiving greater attention from clinicians. Studies have shown that patients with MVA have significantly higher major cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality than the control population, and the search for effective treatments is of great clinical importance. Both basic and clinical studies have shown that Qi-Jing Hui-Xin Decoction (QJHX) can relieve angina symptoms and improve clinical efficacy, but there is a lack of high-quality clinical studies to provide a research basis. This article introduces the evaluation protocol of QJHX for the adjunctive treatment of MVA. METHODS/

designThis is a prospective randomized controlled trial. The trial will enroll 150 patients with MVA. On the basis of Western drug treatment, patients will be randomized into two groups, and the experimental group will receive QJHX treatment for 12 weeks and follow-up at 24 week. The primary indicators are the clinical efficacy of angina pectoris and the evidence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) efficacy. Secondary indicators are the Seattle Angina Scale score, serum lipid levels, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram diagnosis. Additional indicators are endothelial function and immunoinflammatory factors. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the trial. DISCUSSION: Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is commonly used for angina in China. This study will evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of adding QJHX based on standardized Western medications. The results of the trial will provide high-level clinical research-based evidence for the application of QJHX in MVA.
