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
Research background: YiQing granules (YQGs) are a patented drug commonly used in clinics in China. However, the quality control index of this preparation is relatively limited, which does not effectively ensure the quality of the product. Thus, a comprehensive quality evaluation of YQGs is lacking. Objective: The aim of this study was to establish a method for quantitative and qualitative analysis of YQGs based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector (UPLC-PAD) fingerprint combined with quantitative analysis of multicomponents by a single marker (QAMS). Methods: We established and verified the comprehensive evaluation method that UPLC fingerprint combined with QAMS and stoichiometric method, to assess the overall quality of YQGs produced by different manufacturers. Berberine was selected as an internal reference, and the relative correction factors of coptisine, epiberberine, baicalin, berberine, palmatine, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin, aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, and chrysophanol were established. Study results: Results showed that the experimental time of the fingerprint was significantly reduced to approximately 0.5 h using the UPLC-PAD method. A total of 32 common peaks with similarity greater than 0.9 were identified. The accuracy of QAMS was compared with the external standard method, with no significant difference between the two methods. Conclusion: The UPLC fingerprint combined with QAMS method established in this study is feasible and reliable; it can be used for the comprehensive quality evaluation of YQGs and can provide a reference for the quality evaluation of other traditional Chinese medicine preparations.
