Review in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

We recorded and evaluated the literature on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with thunder fire moxibustion and warm acupuncture and moxibustion published on the Science Information Network and the National Institute of Knowledge Infrastructure of China during 2020-2024. This paper probes into the mechanism of thunder fire moxibustion and warm acupuncture and moxibustion in treating knee osteoarthritis, and evaluates the clinical efficacy of thunder fire moxibustion and warm acupuncture and moxibustion in treating knee osteoarthritis. Results: In clinical practice, thunder fire moxibustion and warm acupuncture and moxibustion can play a synergistic role in assisting western medicine. The combination of traditional and western medicine has complementary advantages, which can alleviate pain, improve the function of the knee joint, and has high safety, improving the overall efficacy of knee osteoarthritis treatment. Conclusions: Thunder fire moxibustion and warm acupuncture and moxibustion have ideal efficacy and high safety in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. In the future, it is still necessary to explore personalized treatment schemes, combining thunder fire moxibustion, warm acupuncture and moxibustion with modern technologies such as physical therapy and drug therapy, so as to achieve personalized and precise treatment.
