Correlation Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution and Metabolic Indexes in General Physical Examination People.
Article in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveAnalysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution type general medical patients and the relationship between the metabolic index.
methodsA cohort of 1,029 general individuals who underwent a physical examination at the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Chinese Medicine for identification of their TCM constitution between January 2021 and April 2023 were included in this study. Their data were sorted and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS26.0 statistical software.
resultsAmong the 1029 study participants, the balanced constitution (BC) type was the most prevalent (33.24%), and the blood stasis constitution (BSC) type was the least prevalent (2.62%). Compared with BC, phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC) (p=0.000), yang-deficiency constitution (YADC) (p=0.000) and BSC (p=0.008) had significant differences in body mass index (BMI) (p<α). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) of PDC was different (p=0.042, p<α). There was a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (p=0.001, p<α). The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of YADC was significantly different (p=0.001, p<α). Yin-deficiency constitution (YIDC) (p = 0.007) and YADC differences between fasting blood glucose (FBG) (p = 0.025) were significantly (p<α). There were significant differences in uric acid (UA) of YADC (p=0.000), BSC (p=0.004), PDC (p=0.007) and qi-stagnation constitution (QSC) (p=0.012, p<α). The triglyceride (TG) of YADC (p=0.000) and PDC (p=0.005) were significantly different (p<α). There was a difference in total cholesterol (TC) between PDC (p=0.046) and BC (p<α). BSC (p = 0.028) and PDC (p = 0.023) of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) also had a significant difference (p<α).
conclusionPeople with PDC, YADC and BSC had more abnormal metabolic indexes than people with BC, and the metabolic indexes of people with YIDC constitution were different from those with BC. Individuals with these four TCM constitution types should pay attention to making appropriate changes in lifestyles and dietary habits and take required measures to prevent the incidence and development of metabolic diseases.
