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

Introduction: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Methods: This study systematically retrieved randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published prior to September 2024 from eight distinct databases. It included AHAD patients, with the control group receiving either conventional western medicine (WM) or placebo, and the experimental group receiving RCE alone or in conjunction with WM. The primary outcomes were arterial oxygen saturation (SaO Results: This study included 19 eligible RCTs with 1,690 participants. In improving SaO Conclusion: RCE may enhance blood oxygen levels and mitigate clinical symptoms in the treatment of AHAD with favorable safety. Nonetheless, it is imperative to undertake further rigorous RCTs to validate these findings.
