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

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a valuable resource unique to China with a long history of human use and clinical practice, which can be analyzed to generate real-world evidence (RWE). The Chinese government has been actively promoting regulatory reform that is in line with the characteristics of TCM, optimizing the clinical evidence system for TCM, and exploring the important role of RWE in supporting the development of new drugs and regulatory decision-making for TCM. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the use of RWE in regulatory decisions for TCM. Based on the characteristics of TCM, this study focuses on the application scenarios, challenges, and opportunities of RWE in TCM. And some suggestions are put forward to promote the wider application of RWE in TCM development and supervision.
