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

objectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of the Chinese medicine, Neibu Huangqi Youhua formula combined with Kangfuxin solution for the nursing of patients after anal fistula surgery.

methodsA total of 160 cases with anal fistula who underwent surgical treatment were recruited, and divided into control group (treated with external application of Kangfuxin liquid gauze) and experimental group (receiving the Neibu Huangqi Youhua formula combined with Kangfuxin liquid gauze) based on a random numbering table. The wound recovery, postoperative pain and inflammation were evaluated and compared between the two groups.

resultsAt 3, 7, and 14 d after the operation, the wound healing rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group at any time point. The visual analogue scale scores of the two groups gradually decreased in a time-dependent manner after surgery, while the experimental group showed a more significant downward trend in comparison with the control group. At 14 d after the operation, the experimental group had high levels of epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor-1, secretory IgA, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1, 5-hydroxytryptamine, prostaglandin E-2, substances P and neuropeptide Y compared with control group, but low levels of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and serum amyloid A protein.

conclusionsThe Neibu Huangqi Youhua formula can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors and pain mediators in patients after anal fistula surgery, thereby accelerating the process of wound healing and alleviating the pain of patients.
