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
Introduction: There is no effective treatment plan for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We employed a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment for some COVID-19 inpatients. Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study that observed non-critical COVID-19 inpatients. The differences will be observed in the time from admission to two consecutive 2019-nCoV nucleic acid test negatives and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score between the two groups. Results: A total of 254 confirmed COVID-19 patients were included in this study. The median time from the admission to two consecutive negative nucleic acid tests was 14 days for the integrated Chinese and Western Medicine (ICWM) group, while the Western Medicine (WM) group was 16 days. Besides, the median VAS score of the ICWM group was 0, which was an average decrease of 2 points compared to the time of admission. Conclusion: For non-critical COVID-19 patients, it was safe and have more benefits to add traditional Chinese medicine decoction based on WM treatment.
