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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of Persian medicine Syrup 'compound honey syrup (CHS)' on fractional exhalation nitric oxide (FENO) changes in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). STUDY

designWe conducted a before-after clinical trial on 70 CF patients. All patients received classical treatments for CF along with CHS (including honey, Ginger, cinnamon, saffron, cardamom and galangal), 5-10 cc (depending on the age and weight of patients) in 100 cc of warm boiled water twice a day, 30 min after meals. In this clinical trial, before and 12 weeks after the start of the CHS, FeNO test was evaluated.

resultsFrom 70 patients were enrolled, 44 patients completed this 12-week course of treatment. At the end of the study, changes in FeNO was significantly different before and after treatment (P-value < 0.05). At the end of the study, no dangerous side effects of CHS was reported.

conclusionsThis study revealed that CHS can be effective as a complementary and safe drug in the medication of CF patients.
