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

In order to investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by meta-analysis, literature related to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation are searched in line with the research direction. Meta-analysis is conducted by RevMan 5.2 software. A total of 17 literature are included and the publication bias of the included literature is low. The experimental results show that acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation can reduce the inflammatory response and clinical symptoms of RA patients, and the addition of acupuncture can improve the clinical efficacy, which has a certain feasibility of promotion.
