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: With the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM has demonstrated unique advantages and satisfactory efficacy in the management of mixed hemorrhoid in the perioperative period. However, under the impact of modern medicine, there is still a long way to go before the clinical application of TCM can be recognised by the public. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the application intention of TCM in patients with mixed hemorrhoid in the Department of Integrated TCM and Western Medicine and explore its influencing factors. Methods: Patients with mixed hemorrhoid treated in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2023 were selected using convenience sampling method. The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire and the application intention scale of TCM. Results: The mean application intention score of TCM in patients with mixed hemorrhoid was 22.6±8.6. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that genders, education, psychological condition, previous participation in TCM-type lectures, previous use of TCM and course of disease were independent factors influencing application intention of TCM. Conclusion: Patients with mixed hemorrhoid showed a moderate level of application intention of TCM. By improving the psychological condition of the patients, the application intention of TCM may be positively affected in this group. However, the lack of longitudinal data and external validation of the scale need to be further improved.
