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

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cardiovascular complication that could lead to changes in cardiac structure and function. It is one of the leading causes of death in diabetic patients. Due to the complex pathogenesis of DCM, there is currently no specific drug or prophylactic agent to treat DCM, so there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic agents or complementary and alternative therapies for DCM. Although Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has some limitations, it has the unique advantages of multi-level, multi-target and few side effects, which could effectively deal with the complex pathological mechanism of DCM. Growing evidence suggests that inflammation, oxidative stress, myocardial fibrosis and autophagy are the main pathological mechanisms of DCM. This study will shed light on the prospects of TCM treatment of DCM from the above perspective in order to provide more ideas and evidence for the clinical use of TCM for the prevention and treatment of DCM.
