Zishen yutai pill as an adjuvant therapy in threatened Miscarriage:A meta-analysis of 23 randomized controlled trials.
Review in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zishen Yutai Pill combined with western medicine for the treatment of women with threatened miscarriage during the first trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Randomized controlled trials published before the end of Apr 1, 2023 on Zishen Yutai Pill and threatened miscarriage were systematically retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Sinomed, VIP, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. The international clinical trial registration platform and the Chinese clinical trial registration platform of clinical trials was searched from their inception until Apr 1, 2023. Meta analysis of random effect model was used to combine the research data. Chi-squared test and I Results: Twenty-three trials (enrolling 2411 participants) were included in the review. Zishen Yutai pill combined with western medicine therapy showed significant improvement on human chorionic gonadotropin [MD 19.33 IU/ml, 95% CI (15.84, 22.81)], the total effective rate [RR 1.19, 95% CI (1.15-1.23)], progesterone [MD 7.14 ng/ml, 95% CI (6.14, 8.13)], estradiol [MD 33.69 pg/ml, 95% CI (27.42, 39.96)], duration of abdominal pain [MD -2.36 d, 95% CI (- 3.54, - 1.18)], duration of vaginal bleeding [MD -1.94 d, 95% CI (- 2.93, - 0.94)], and fibrinogen [MD -0.34 g/L, 95% CI (- 0.57, - 0.11)]. There was no significant difference in hematocrit [MD 0.68%, 95% CI (- 0.08, 1.44)] between the experimental and the control group. Zishen Yutai Pill may improve the clinical symptoms in women with threatened miscarriage, such as human chorionic gonadotropin the total effective rate, progesterone, estradiol, duration of abdominal pain, duration of vaginal bleeding, and fibrinogen. Especially for progesterone, the effect of treatment ≦2 weeks is significantly better than treatment of >2 weeks. For estradiol, the effect of treatment >2 weeks is significantly better than treatment of ≦ 2 weeks. Conclusion: Zishen Yutai Pill, as a complementary therapy, significantly improved human chorionic gonadotropin, the total effective rate, progesterone, estradiol, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and fibrinogen in patients with threatened miscarriage in first-trimester pregnancy. However, the systematic review has some limitations, such as degraded information quality, no blinding of patients or doctors, etc. Due to the small sample size and low quality of research, it needs to be further confirmed by large sample and high-quality randomized controlled trials, such as blinding of patients, doctors and outcome assessment should be complemented, clinical follow-up, live birth rate, fetal growth should be supplemented. Systematic review registration: INPLASY202320039.
