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

This case report describes the treatment of a 29-year-old pregnant woman with severe anemia using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The patient, at 5 weeks of gestation, presented with a hemoglobin level of 75 g/L and had a history of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and alpha-thalassemia, which had previously led to pregnancy termination at 17 weeks. In this case, TCM was administered with a therapeutic focus on nourishing Qi and blood, tonifying the kidneys, and supporting gestational maintenance. The patient's anemia persisted throughout gestation, with fluctuating hemoglobin levels that ultimately measured 77 g/L at delivery. Despite sustained anemia and the absence of blood transfusion, the pregnancy proceeded without major complications and resulted in the full-term birth of a healthy infant weighing 2350 g.
