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

Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by abnormal copper metabolism. Disruptions in copper metabolism lead to excessive copper deposition in the liver, nervous system, kidneys, heart, and other organs, thereby inducing a range of pathological manifestations and clinical symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy and excellent safety profiles. When integrated with effective Western anti-copper therapies, it can yield superior therapeutic outcomes. Consequently, TCM has exhibited unique advantages in managing WD, particularly when combined with multiple systemic damages. This paper discusses the pathological mechanisms and TCM etiology and pathogenesis of WD combined with multiple organ damage. It also summarizes the clinical efficacy and mechanism of TCM in treating WD combined with multiple organ damage, aiming to provide a reference for further studies on the role and potential mechanisms of TCM interventions in WD.
