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

objectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of Majoon-e-Suranjaan with and without isometric exercises in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

methodsA prospective, pragmatic, community based, parallel group, single blinded randomized controlled trial conducted at Muhammad Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic and Rehabilitation Centre, Multan, from May to October 2023. The trial was approved and registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20230202057310N5). Ninety-five patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received Majoon-e-Suranjaan (5 g orally, twice daily). Group B received the same dosage of Majoon-e-Suranjaan along with The isometric exercises. The exercise protocol for group B consisted of three weekly sessions, each lasting 40 minutes. Patients were evaluated at baseline and at the 24

resultsOf the 95 patients randomized, 90 completed the 24-week treatment. Among them, 60 (66.6%) were female, and 30 (33.3%) were male. Group B showed significantly greater improvements compared to Group A in in WOMAC activities of daily living (P=0.001), WOMAC stiffness (P=0.004), WOMAC pain and DAS (P=0.000), NPRS (P=0.001). Additionally, Group B demonstrated significant improvements in RF (P=0.001), ESR (P=0.002), and CRP (P=0.003) compared to group A.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated the synergistic effect of Majoon-e-Suranjaan and isometric exercises in RA patients, highlighting the potential for more effective RA treatment strategies.
