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
objectiveTo assess the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture in the treatment of sequelae of cerebral infarction.
methodsNinety patients with cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from April 2018 to April 2020 were enrolled and equally allocated to an experimental group and a control group. The control group was treated with aspirin, and the experimental group was treated with Chinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture. The recovery of the ability of daily living (ADL), recovery of hemiplegic limb function, blood viscosity, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and quality of life were evaluated.
resultsAfter treatment, the ADL of patients in the two groups witnessed a remarkable recovery, with superior results in the experimental group than the control group (
conclusionChinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture treatment can better improve the hemiplegic limb function and the quality of life, and reduce blood viscosity of patients with sequelae of cerebral infarction.
