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
Juzen-taiho-to, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is used for patients with anorexia and fatigue in human medicine. In our previous study, granulated Juzen-taiho-to improved vincristine-induced gastrointestinal adverse effects through increasing gastric motility in dogs. As the effect of Hozen-S, the sweet liquid form of Juzen-taiho-to, on dog gastric motility has not been investigated, we examined the effect of administration of Hozen-S on gastric motility. Furthermore, we assessed dog plasma ghrelin level to further elucidate the mechanism of the effect of Hozen-S on gastric contraction. Finally, we assessed the palatability of Hozen-S compared to granulated Juzen-taiho-to and its effect on body weight in dogs. Administration of Hozen-S significantly increased gastric motility, plasma ghrelin concentration, and body weight. A palatability evaluation revealed that the dogs preferred Hozen-S to granulated Juzen-taiho-to. In conclusion, Hozen-S administration to dogs promoted gastric motility by raising plasma ghrelin levels. Considering these functional and palatability data, Hozen-S may replace granulated type Juzen-taiho-to and become a prominent traditional Chinese veterinary medicament.
