Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Current Medical Practice.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Despite the marvelous advancements in modern biotechnology and medical practices, the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is rapidly evolving and growing in the healthcare industry and has significantly increased in all modern societies. The health-seeking behavior of people, especially in developing countries, calls for bringing all CAM healers into the mainstream by providing them with proper training, facilities, and backup for a referral. Evidence-based CAM (EBCAM) therapies have shown remarkable success in treating diseases. It necessitates the integration of modern CAM systems in terms of evidence-based information sharing. Although a synergistic effect of interaction between the two systems works, large gaps in EBCAM still exist and are worth further studies to develop evidence for best CAM practices for the common goal of improving the health of people.
