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
Background: In Thai traditional medicine (TTM), the dominant body element called "Dhat Chao Ruean" (DCR) is an integral part in the diagnostic process of Thai traditional medicine. TTM practitioners usually use Thai herbal Benjakul formula (BKF) for adjusting and balancing the body elements. However, the effects of BKF on metabolism and individual response to it have not been studied yet. Methods: This study proposed to investigate the metabolic profiling in 24 volunteers categorized by their types of birth month DCR (bDCR) after the administration of BKF (450 mg, three tablets three times a day before meals) for seven days. Differences in metabolic profiling between bDCR groups were investigated by using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for untargeted analysis, and in addition, the safety was assessed by testing the plasma biochemical level. Results: This study identified 57 biomarkers in positive ESI and 12 in negative ESI. Piperine was found in varying amount among the participants but it was the highest in the earth group. In addition, this study found that elemicin, phenylpropionic acid, ricinoleic acid, and Conclusion: The findings indicated that it is safe to use BKF which can help to improve health in chronic diseases by adjusting abnormality of the elements of the body. In addition, the information gathered from this study is valuable for further study in the field of Thai traditional medicine.
