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
Shaofuzhuyu Decoction (SFZYD) is a classical formula for treating endometriosis of cold coagulation and blood stasis (ECB). The clinical efficacy is definite, but the potential mechanisms require further exploration. The study aimed to reveal the metabolic mechanisms of SFZYD for treating ECB using mass spectrum oriented metabolomics. Firstly, the study has used metabolomics data to identify biomarkers and to investigate metabolic pathways. Then, the targets of SFZYD for treating ECB were dug by building and analyzing a biological network of biomarkers. Finally, the obtained targets were validated by molecular docking. This study found that SFZYD could significantly improve the biochemical indicators and metabolic abnormalities of ECB. A total of 18 ECB-related biomarkers in 7 pathways were identified. SFZYD was able to regulate the levels of 14 biomarkers that were involved in 5 metabolic pathways. Furthermore, the study yielded 119 SFZYD active ingredients, 1119 target proteins associated with endometriosis, 610 targets associated with biomarkers, 727 GO functions, and 159 KEGG pathways. Biological network analysis constructed a network diagram of herbs-ingredients-targets-biomarkers, and found 6 key active ingredients and 9 core targets. Molecular docking showed high affinities between key ingredients and core targets. This study elucidated that SFZYD plays a role in treating ECB through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway.
