Efficacy of midnight-noon Ebb-flow hour-prescription method combined with acupuncture at Baihui Bazhen acupoints in the rehabilitation of Aphasia after ischemic stroke.
Article in African health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of combining the midnight-noon ebb-flow hour-prescription method with acupuncture at the Baihui (GV 20) and Bazhen acupoints for rehabilitating aphasia following ischemic stroke. Methodology: 196 patients with aphasia after ischemic stroke were divided into two groups: a research group (n=98) that received language rehabilitation training along with the midnight-noon ebb-flow hour-prescription method and acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20) Bazhen acupoints, and a control group (n=98) that received only language rehabilitation training. The study recorded traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores and scores from various scales, as well as clinical efficacy. Results: The traditional Chinese medicine symptom score and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were lower, and the scores of Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL), Chinese Functional Communication Profile (CFCP), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) were higher in the research group than in the control group after treatment. The research group also had a higher total effective rate compared to the control group. Conclusion: Midnight-noon ebb-flow hour-prescription method combined with acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20) Bazhen acupoints can effectively ameliorate NIHSS scores in patients with aphasia after ischemic stroke, facilitate language functional recovery, and improve rehabilitation.
