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

backgroundFew studies have investigated low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with tri-tongue acupuncture for the treatment of post-stroke dysarthria. This randomized clinical study assessed the correlation between the clinical efficacy of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with tri-tongue acupuncture in patients with post-stroke dysarthria.

aimTo investigate the clinical effects of tri-tongue acupuncture combined with low-frequency electrical stimulation for treating post-stroke dysarthria.

methodsNinety patients with post-stroke dysarthria, who were admitted to our hospital from December 2019 to June 2021, were selected and equally divided into two groups (

resultsThe overall efficacy in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (

conclusionLow-frequency electrical stimulation, in conjunction with tri-tongue acupuncture, exhibits a good clinical effect on post-stroke dysarthria.
