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

Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that combines modern electrophysiological technology with traditional Chinese medicine principles. Over the past few decades, TEAS has become a significant medical intervention during the perioperative period and its mechanisms have seen a continuous development. These mechanisms span across multiple aspects, including the regulation of the neuroendocrine network system, inhibition of oxidative stress, alleviation of immune suppression, regulation of endothelial function, and inhibition of coagulation and fibrinolysis system activation. This article aims to summarize and elaborate the mechanisms of TEAS in the perioperative period and to discuss current research challenges. Future studies should strive to optimize treatment protocols to promote the research on the mechanisms of TEAS in the perioperative period, subsequently offering patients safer and more effective treatment alternatives.
