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

We present the rationale and design of a master protocol study that clarifies the effectiveness and safety of Chinese herbal formulas on -stagnation and blood-stasis pattern (QBP). Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and real-world observational studies. Based on three registry cohorts of stable angina, tension-type headache and primary dysmenorrhea, patients with QBP will be enrolled in RCTs to receive either Xuefu Zhuyu (, XFZY) oral liquid or a placebo, while patients with non-QBP will be enrolled in the observational studies and experience follow-up. 1414 patients (RCTs: 574; observational studies: 840) will be recruited at seven centers in China over a 3-year period. The primary outcome is the visual analog scale of pain intensity. Adverse events will also be reported. The analysis will be undertaken separately in each sub-study, and then an overall analysis combining multiple subgroups will be performed to comprehensively investigate the effect of XFZY oral liquid. This study will provide high-quality evidence of XFZY oral liquid for QBP patients and show a paradigm of post-marketing evaluation of the effectiveness and safety for Chinese medicine following the notion of the pattern dominating different disease research models.
