Effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine decoction for diabetic gastroparesis: A network meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of diabetes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundDiabetic gastroparesis (DGP) is a prevalent complication of diabetes that impairs people's quality of life and places a significant financial burden on them. The gastrointestinal symptoms of DGP patients can be improved by several Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) decoctions that have been shown to be effective in treating the disease. There are still many unanswered questions regarding the identification of appropriate therapeutic agents for the treatment of DGP in clinical practice.
aimTo analyze the efficacy of several TCM decoctions in the treatment of DGP using Bayesian network meta-analysis for reference.
methodsPubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Kno-wledge Infrastructure, The China Biology Medicine DVD, Wanfang, and CQVIP were searched from inception to September 17, 2022, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about TCM decoctions for DGP. Clinical effects and symptom scores were the primary outcomes. Additionally, we assessed motilin (MOT), somatostatin (SS), gastrin (GAS), gastric emptying rate, gastric emptying time, and adverse drug events as secondary outcomes.
resultsA total of 67 eligible RCTs involving 4790 DGP patients and 7 TCM decoctions were included. The results of network meta-analysis (NMA) and surface under the cumulative ranking curve showed that with western medicine (WM) as a common control, the Banxia Xiexin Decoction (BXXD) + WM was most effective in clinical effects and enhancing early satiety scores; the Simo decoction (SMD) + WM was most effective in improving nausea and vomiting scores and anorexia scores, bloating scores; the Chaishao Liujunzi Decoction (CSLJD) was most effective in MOT, the Zhishi Xiaopi Decoction (ZSXPD) was most effective in SS and upgrading emptying rate; the Jianpi Xiaozhi Decoction was most effective in GAS; the CSLJD + WM was most effective in improving gastric emptying time.
conclusionThese NMA results suggest that the BXXD + WM and SMD + WM may be one of the potential optimal treatments. Due to various limitations, further large-sample, double-blind, multi-center randomized RCTs are needed.
