Acupuncture Treats Sepsis through Immune Modulation and Organ Protection.
Review in Current medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Sepsis is a secondary condition resulting from severe systemic infections. It is a significant contributor to mortality in critically ill patients with rapid onset and severe symptoms. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical treatment. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that acupuncture, as an important synergistic therapy, has promising therapeutic effects in the treatment of sepsis. This paper reviews the mechanisms of immunomodulation and target organ protection associated with acupuncture and synergistic drug acupuncture in the treatment of sepsis. It also integrates existing studies to elucidate the modulation of the immune system and the protective effect of acupuncture on target organs.
