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

backgroundCervical spondylotic radiculopathy is a common form of cervical spondylosis caused by degeneration of the cervical spine. Currently, non-surgical treatment is the preferred treatment method, and Chinese medicine is widely used.

objectiveTo investigate the effect of radiculopathy spondylosis by tuina spinning and lifting technique.

methodsExperimental Design: We conducted a 12-week, open-label, analyst-blinded, randomized clinical trial (2 weeks of intervention plus 10 weeks of observational follow-up). A total of 25 patients with radiculopathy were collected, and data was analyzed during the treatment and recovery period.

interventionsNeck pain granules group: a package of oral neck pain granules after meals, three times a day, treatment for 2 weeks; neck pain granules combined with massage lifting technique, treatment group: use, massage lifting technique treatment, once every two days, normal take neck pain granules, treatment for 2 weeks. All cases were followed up for 2.5 months. Main Monitoring Indicators: Visual Analog Scale, Neck Dysfunction Index score, and Tanaka jiu (Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylosis Symptom Scale) were recorded on time, and statistical statistics were made.

resultThe scores of VAS and NDI were significantly more effective in the neck pain granules combined with the tuina group than in the neck pain granules group, while the Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylosis Symptom Scale was not significantly different between the two groups.

conclusionThe treatment effect of neck pain granules combined with tuina was significantly better than that of traditional Chinese medicine alone.
