1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Rheumatic immune diseases are a type of immune-inflammatory disease that affects muscles, bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. They have a long course and a high disability rate, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic immune diseases. The unique theoretical system and rich treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are preserved in ancient Chinese medical books. Methods: This study takes the content related to rheumatism in ancient traditional Chinese medicine books as the research object, integrates ontology theory and technology into the knowledge graph, and realizes the reconstruction of traditional Chinese medicine information knowledge. It provides a basic data structure for data mining and knowledge discovery. Results: This study is the first rheumatism-specific knowledge graph constructed based on ancient traditional Chinese medicine books. It has explored the construction method of a knowledge graph from ancient books by combining automatic labeling of mainstream large language models with manual review. Considering the knowledge characteristics of ancient traditional Chinese medicine books, where existing word segmentation technology struggles to accurately reproduce the original meaning, a new type of entity extraction method is proposed. Discussion: This provides an important foundation for improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment level of traditional Chinese medicine in treating rheumatism, further exploring the knowledge representation and application of traditional Chinese medicine in rheumatism treatment, and it has potential for future expansion and improvement.
