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
Background and Aims: The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yanggan Jian (YGJ) in HBV-infected patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Methods: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial enrolled 160 patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis who were already receiving or about to start antiviral therapy. Patients were randomly assigned to receive YGJ or placebo for 24 weeks, and were followed-up to 36 weeks. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a ≥2 point reduction in Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score from baseline at week 24. Secondary outcomes were CTP class and score, serum liver function indices, mortality, incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and variceal bleeding. Results: The proportion of patients with a CTP score reduction ≥2 was significantly greater in the YGJ than in the placebo group ( Conclusions: YGJ significantly improved CTP scores and hepatic synthetic and reserve function in patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis, and was safe and well tolerated.
