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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of Angong Jiangya pill (AGJY, ) in the treatment of grade 2 hypertension with liver-fire hyperactivity syndrome.

methodsThis multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in eight medical institutions. Eligible patients with grade 2 hypertension were randomly allocated to receive AGJY or a placebo for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in blood pressure (BP). The secondary outcomes were BP compliance rate, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptoms, and Duchenne Hypertension Quality of Life Scale score.

resultsData were analyzed for 117 participants in the AGJY group and 118 participants in the placebo group. After 12 weeks of treatment, AGJY compared with placebo resulted in a higher and significant reduction in systolic/diastolic BP (-15.58 ± 10.16/-9.72 ± 7.41

conclusionAGJY demonstrated efficacy in lowering BP, increasing the rate of BP compliance, and improving TCM symptoms and quality of life in patients with grade 2 hypertension liver-fire hyperactivity syndrome. However, further in-depth studies are required to determine the mechanism of TCM in treating hypertension.
