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

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of acupuncture therapy combined with acupoint patching in alleviating chronic pelvic pain, a sequela of pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID-CPP). Methods: A total of 120 SPID-CPP patients attending our hospital between January 2022 and November 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group, with 60 patients in each group. Both groups received conventional lifestyle guidance and anti-infection therapy. The control group received only acupuncture therapy, while the observation group received acupuncture combined with acupoint patching therapy. The duration of treatment was identical for both groups. The treatment effect, levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT), fibrinogen (FIB) level, quality-of-life scores, and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores were compared between the experimental and control groups. Results: The treatment efficacy rate of the experimental group was 93.00%, while that of the control group was only 73.33%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with acupoint patching demonstrates significant efficacy in treating SPID-CPP. This combined therapy effectively reduces pain in SPID-CPP patients, decreases serum levels of inflammatory factors, and significantly improves patients' quality of life.
