Efficacy and safety of Tengfu Jiangya tablet combined with valsartan/amlodipine in the treatment of stage 2 hypertension: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2022. 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
backgroundThe prevalence rate of hypertension in the Chinese population is on the rise, and the control rate of hypertension is low. International guidelines, including the 2018 Chinese Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension, recommend optimized drug selection and combination therapy for patients with stage 2 hypertension and blood pressure ≥ 160/100 mmHg, including valsartan/amlodipine (Val/Aml). The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound Tengfu Jiangya tablet (TJT; No. Z20110021, Shandong Provincial Food and Drug Administration) is prepared in the medical institution of Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is an effective compound preparation of TCM for the treatment of hypertension in the national clinical research base of TCM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TJT combined with Val/Aml in the treatment of stage 2 hypertension with hyperactivity of liver yang.
methodsThis randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial will be conducted with a total of 288 participants with stage 2 hypertension at seven clinical trial centers. The stratified random method will be used, and the subcenter will be taken as the stratification factor. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) into groups receiving either TJT or placebo three times daily for 28 days, both combined with Val/Aml 80/5 mg. The primary efficacy endpoint is the reduction in the mean sitting systolic blood pressure (msSBP) and the mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (msDBP) from baseline to week 4. Adverse events and laboratory test results will be monitored throughout the trial. DISCUSSION: This is the first placebo-controlled randomized trial conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a Chinese herbal extract combined with Val/Aml in patients with stage 2 hypertension. Our study may help to provide evidence-based recommendations of a complementary preventive measure for stage 2 hypertension.
