Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine in the management of ischemic stroke: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, despite advancements in acute intervention and rehabilitation strategies. Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine (TCIM) systems; including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and mind-body interventions are increasingly being explored as adjunct therapies in stroke management. This narrative review evaluates the current evidence supporting TCIM approaches for ischemic stroke, highlighting their potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cerebrovascular effects. Particular emphasis is placed on well-studied botanical interventions such as
