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 explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristic nursing mode based on evidence-based medicine on parturients with breast tenderness and pain. Method: 100 parturients with postpartum breast pain treated at Taizhou First People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected. Among them, 51 cases received routine nursing intervention (general group, GG) and 49 cases received TCM characteristic nursing based on evidence-based medicine (comprehensive group, CG). The pain number (NRS) score, lactation effect, breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSES-SF) score, anxiety and depression, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared. In addition, the pregnant women were followed up after discharge to investigate the rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Result: Three days after intervention, NRS score, SAS score, and SDS score in the CG were significantly lower than those in the GG. The level of serum prolactin and total breast lactation yield in the GG were better than those in the CG. BSES-SF score, nursing satisfaction, and exclusive breastfeeding rate in the CG were higher than those in the GG. Conclusion: Evidence-based TCM care can significantly reduce postpartum breast tenderness, increase milk production, improve exclusive breastfeeding, and help relieve emotional distress.
