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

Objective: To study the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) combined with diuretic resistance by using the Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription, and to observe its therapeutic efficacy. Methods: A total of 68 CHF patients complicated with diuretic resistance and who had Yangqi deficiency and presenting blood stasis syndrome combined with Tanyin were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group. The control group was given intravenous furosemide (≥ 80 mg/d) via infusion pump in addition to standard Western medical treatment, while the observation group was given intravenous furosemide (< 80 mg/d) via infusion pump along with the Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription (30 g Astragalus, 15 g Poria, 15 g Baizhu, 15 g Chuanxiong, 10 g Danfu tablet, 10 g Cassia, 10 g Alisma, and 10 g Zhimu). The quantitative index of diuretic resistance was used as the primary outcome measure. In addition, the differences between the two groups in TCM syndromes, cardiac function-related indicators, incidence of endpoint events, and readmission rate were compared. Results: After 2 weeks of treatment, the filtration sodium excretion fraction (FENa) in the observation group was (0.18 ± 0.04)%, while that of the control group was (0.16 ± 0.03)%, showing a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: The Wenyang Huayin Yangxin Prescription, combined with low-dose intravenous furosemide administered through an infusion pump, can improve the TCM syndromes of patients with Yangqi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome combined with Tanyin in addition to CHF complicated by diuretic resistance. This treatment improves the patients' heart function and diuretic resistance, reduces the intravenous dosage of diuretic, and enhances clinical efficacy. This approach should be more widely applied in clinical settings.
