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

Objective: To explore the effect of medicine-separated moxibustion combined with mind-regulating acupuncture on the efficacy and quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods: Sixty patients with AR cured from February 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled in our hospital. The patients were arbitrarily assigned into control and study groups. The former group was treated with herbal moxibustion on the navel, while the latter group was treated with herbal moxibustion on the navel combined with mind-regulating acupuncture. The curative effect, TNSS score, TNNSS score, RQLQ score, and the incidence of adverse events were compared. Results: Compared with the two groups, the study group was markedly effective in 24 cases, effective in 5 cases, and ineffective in 1 case, with an effective rate of 100.00%, while the control group was markedly effective in 13 cases, effective in 10 cases, and ineffective in 7 cases, with an effective rate of 100.00%. The curative effect of the study group was better compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Medicine-separated moxibustion was combined with mind-regulating acupuncture when treating AR. There were differences in clinical efficacy, single-symptom score, and TNSS, TNNSS, and RQLQ scores, which verified the clinical efficacy of medicine-separated moxibustion combined with mind-regulating acupuncture when treating AR, and expounded the mechanism of medicine-separated moxibustion combined with mind-regulating acupuncture when treating AR. In the meantime, it shows that the umbilical method of medicine-separated moxibustion combined with mind-regulating acupuncture when treating AR has the advantages of definite short-term effect, long-term effect, safe and simple operation, and no adverse reactions, which is worthy of clinical application.
