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

backgroundThere is a pressing need to identify pharmaceuticals that are both safe and efficacious, with lower toxicity, for the treatment of stable angina pectoris in individuals suffering from coronary heart disease. The aim of this paper is to explore the therapeutic value of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills in patients with stable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease complicated with cognitive impairment.

methods200 patients with stable angina pectoris combined with cognitive dysfunction and coronary heart disease admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. According to the treatment method, the subjects were divided into a control group and a study group, with 100 cases in each group. The control group received conventional oral Western medicine, and the study group underwent treatment with Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills in addition to traditional Western medicine. The course of treatment was eight weeks. The enhancement in angina pectoris, cognitive function level, self-care ability, and clinical efficacy of both groups were assessed by comparing the conditions before and after the treatment.

resultsAfter treatment, the frequency and duration of angina pectoris attacks in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the study group was lower than the control group (p < 0.05). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of both groups was higher than before, and the score of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scores in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate of the control group and the study group was 81.00% and 93.00%, respectively, and the total clinical effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05).

conclusionShexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills can effectively reduce the incidence of angina pectoris in patients with stable angina pectoris complicated with coronary heart disease and cognitive dysfunction. It can also regulate the patient's neurological function, improve their cognitive level, and significantly improve clinical efficacy.
