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 therapeutic value of traditional Chinese massage plus moxibustion for degenerative knee osteoarthritis (DKOA). Methods: From January 2019 to October 2021, 152 patients with DKOA were enrolled. All patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The control group was treated with oral glucosamine hydrochloride capsules. The treatment group was treated with traditional Chinese massage and moxibustion on the basis of the control group. The duration of treatment in the two groups was 8 weeks. The effectiveness, visual analog scale (VAS) score, the hospital for special surgery (HSS) score, World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) score, serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in age, sex, and the duration of disease between the two groups ( Conclusion: Traditional Chinese massage plus moxibustion is worthy of clinical application, which has a significant clinical effect on DKOA, reducing pain and improving knee joint function and quality of life.
