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 explore the treatment efficacy of integrated Chinese medicine (Chaihu Shugan San, , CSS) and western therapy in the treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction (AIO), to provide new ideas for the management of the disease.
methodsIn our single-blind randomized controlled study, 120 patients with AIO who were hospitalized in The Affiliated Hospital of China West Normal University Nan Chong Gaoping District People's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 and met the inclusion criteria were categorized into the treatment group and the control group. Patients from the control group were administered basic Western Medicine therapy, whereas patients from the treatment group were administered basic Western Medicine therapy plus CSS by gastric tube injection. Subsequently, the time to first anal exhaustion and defecation, time to relief of abdominal distension and pain, days of hospitalization, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptom scores, interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the 2 groups were recorded and compared.
resultsThe comparison of clinical efficacy of the treatment group were better than the control group. The TCM symptom score was considerably lower in the treatment group; the inflammation indicators CRP, IL-6, and PCT also decreased statistically when comparing the control group. Furthermore, there were significantly reduced in the time to first exhaustion, time to first defecation, time to relief of abdominal pain and distension, and days of hospitalization in the treatment group versus the control group.
conclusionCSS could suppress the inflammatory reaction, reduce days of hospitalization, relieve clinical symptoms in AIO patients with reliable efficacy and high safety and is worthy of clinical application.
