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

Background: Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the deadliest subtype of stroke. Surgery remains a vital measure for life-saving in emergency situations, however, the recovery of post-operative patients is not optimistic. This study aimed to evaluate the evidence of the efficacy and safety of Xingnaojing injection (XNJ) for post-operative patients of ICH. Methods: From inception to 31 January 2024, we searched eight representative databases for randomized controlled trials on post-operative patients of ICH treated with XNJ. A meta-analysis was conducted using R4.2.2, and the quality of the evidence was evaluated by GRADE criteria. Results: The results indicated that the combination of XNJ with conventional western medicine therapy improved the total efficiency rate (RR = 1.26; 95% CI [1.21 to 1.32]; Conclusion: Current evidence indicates that XNJ can enhance the efficiency, reduce mortality, and lower the incidence of complications, while demonstrating good tolerability of post-operative patients of ICH. However, the level of evidence from existing studies is relatively weak, and only prove short-term effects, and high-quality RCTs are needed to further verify the accuracy of these conclusions.
