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
backgroundTinnitus is a common condition in otolaryngology; however, its pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. Recent efforts have focused on improving individual treatment efficacy by combining different treatment approaches. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the efficacy of Korean medicine (KM) combination therapy in treating chronic tinnitus unresponsive to conventional Western treatments. CASE SUMMARY: A 35-year-old female patient with over 10 years of left-sided tinnitus, accompanied by left eye twitching, headache, neck pain, and premenstrual syndrome, was diagnosed with liver qi stagnation. She underwent 11 sessions involving acupuncture-related treatments and Chuna therapy as part of KM treatment. From the 9
conclusionIn conclusion, personalized treatment with a combination and modification of various KM therapies based on individual pattern diagnosis effectively alleviated daily life discomfort in a patient with chronic tinnitus, unresponsive to conventional treatments. This led to a rapid resolution of symptoms within a relatively short timeframe.
