The Effect of Hawthorn Red Pigment on Meridian Voltage: An Experimental Study on Traditional Efficacy and Modern Application Value.

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
Objective: To observe the effect of hawthorn red pigment (HRP) on meridian voltage in 20 volunteers over a period of 90 days. Methods: The characteristic absorption peak of HRP was determined by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy full-wavelength absorption analysis scanning, and its solution particle size was measured by Nano-ZS Malvern laser particle size analyzer. Volunteers were required to take a 100 mL HRP solution containing 4.0 g hawthorn powder three times a day after meals. The measurement time for meridian surface voltage was from 09:00 to 11:00 after breakfast, with the first administration at 09:30. Results: HRP had a characteristic absorption peak at 280 nm, and the average particle size was 137.03 ± 1.44 nm. Among the five volunteers who completed the experiment, the spleen meridian had the most significant decompression effect, with the initial voltage dropping from 14.11 to -7.25 mV on the seventh day ( Conclusion: HRP has the effects of activating the heart meridian, boosting the mind, and relieving the pressure of the pericardium meridian. Regular consumption can reduce the stress on the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians, especially with a significant improvement in the spleen meridian within 28 days. This finding is consistent with the traditional efficacy of hawthorn in strengthening the spleen.
