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

Functional constipation is relatively common in both adults and children, exhibiting similar symptoms. However, there are significant differences in the epidemiology, symptomatology, pathophysiology, diagnostic tests, and treatment management of functional constipation by age. The treatment of functional constipation is generally based on lifestyle interventions, pelvic floor interventions, and pharmacotherapy. Pharmacological treatment is popular as the most direct and effective modality, especially the herbal preparations (e.g., Shouhui Tongbian capsule), which are popular for their lower toxic side effects and less physiological reactions. In our clinical study, patients with functional constipation who took Shouhui Tongbian capsules for a longer period of time showed significantly better improvement than those who took them for a shorter period of time (
