Article in Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo describe the epidemiological distribution of hemorrhoids in a physical examination population in China, which could provide evidence for precision prevention and early intervention of hemorrhoids.
methodsChinese subjects over 18 years of age who underwent a physical examination in a nationwide chain of physical examination centers in 2018 were studied in a cross-sectional design, which collected information by a questionnaire and physical examination results from each subject. The epidemiological distribution of hemorrhoids was described using Logistic models. The gender-, age-, and region-detection rates of hemorrhoids were standardized to the Sixth National Population Census of the People's Republic of China (2010).
resultsA total of 2 940 295 adult subjects were included in the study, of whom the average age was (41.7±14.0) years, and 52.6% were females. The standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids was higher for females (43.7%) than that for males (17.7%;
conclusionThe detection rate of hemorrhoids varied to gender, age, obesity, and hypertension status, which could help to identify the risk factors and the high-risk sub-groups, and hence to strengthen health education and early detection accordingly, which could eventually reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids and improve the quality of life and health in the Chinese population. This study was conducted in a physical examination population, and the conclusions of this study should be extrapolated with caution.
