Tuina for Enuresis in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the effects of Tuina (massage) vs. non-Tuina traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments on nocturnal enuresis in children. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted following the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: Twelve RCTs recruiting a total of 1,007 children were included. Meta-analysis results showed that, compared with non-Tuina TCM treatments, Tuina could significantly improve the total effective rate of children's enuresis [RR = 1.29, 95%CI (1.22-1.36), Conclusion: From the available evidence, Tuina, or Tuina combined with non-Tuina TCM treatments (acupuncture, or herbal medicine) can improve the clinical outcome of children with enuresis, indicating Tuina is a promising treatment choice for children's enuresis. However, because of the intrinsic limitations of the included studies, more high-quality randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up are still needed to further confirm the efficacy and safety of Tuina in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children.
