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

This work presents a data-driven method for identifying the potential core acupoint combination in COVID-19 treatment through mining the association rules from the retrieved scientific literature and guidelines for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 published all over China. It is based on the representation of the acupoint data in a binary form, the use of a novel association rule mining algorithm properly tailored for discovering the relationship of acupoint groups among combinations of different descriptions. The proposed method is applied to the real database of acupoint descriptions collected from published literature and guidelines. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
