Clinical Experience of Acupuncture Treatment for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
Review in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Based on the authors' clinical experience, the acupuncture treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mainly includes the following three aspects. (1) The etiology and pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are based on "deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality." The deficiency in origin means deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and the excess in superficiality is caused by hepatobiliary disorders. (2) The application of the theory of strengthening the spleen and mobilizing transportation should be considered for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by acupuncture and moxibustion. Therefore, the use of "treatment from the spleen" often has miraculous effects. (3) Skillful use of acupuncture, shallow acupuncture, acupoint thread embedding, and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies are used to regulate the liver and spleen. In addition, warm acupuncture is reused to warm the Yang and strengthen the body.
