The Effect of TCM Syndrome Type and Western Medicine Detection on Patients with Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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 investigate the clinical changes of TCM syndrome type and microalbuminuria in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 442 patients with hypertension and diabetes who were admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2021 were selected. All patients were divided into medication group and control group according to the random number method. Patients in the medication group were treated with conventional Western medicine-assisted traditional Chinese medicine, while patients in the control group were not treated with adjuvant medicine. The blood pressure and blood glucose of patients in the two groups were controlled within the normal range, and the clinical effects of the two groups were observed. Results: The treatment of hypertension and diabetes in the two groups was diagnosed by the TCM syndrome type, and the cure rate was higher in the medication group. After 3 months, the glomerular filtration rate in the medication group increased steadily and the renal artery resistance index decreased, while the indexes in the control group had no significant change, with statistical significance ( Conclusion: The combination of the TCM syndrome type and Western medicine detection method is more conducive to the two diagnosis and treatment methods that complement each other, improve each other, improve the effect of diagnosis and treatment, and are worthy of further research by researchers, so as to promote clinical application. Some other bad habits should also be corrected, such as smoking, drinking, and irregular diet, through adjusting the diet; control of high protein intake is also an important intervention measure for disease.
