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

objectiveTo systematically assess the safety and effectiveness of Compound E'jiao Jiang (, CEJ) for treating leukopenia.

methodsFour English and four Chinese databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CEJ for treating leukopenia up to July 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the studies and extracted necessary data. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Articles eligible for Meta-analysis were analyzed using RevMan.

resultsA total of 28 RCTs involving 2041 participants were included, with 1034 in the experimental group and 1007 in the control group. The Meta-analysis showed a significant effect of CEJ in treating leukopenia caused by tumor and immune diseases (three RCTs) [risk ratio (

conclusionCEJ alone or in combination with Western Medicine for treating leukopenia caused by tumor and immune diseases improved WBC counts, clinical efficacy, and quality of life. It also reduced bone marrow toxicity-induced leukopenia, enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy while reducing its toxicity, and alleviated symptoms. No significant adverse events were reported in the RCTs, indicating favorable efficacy and safety. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation assessment indicated a low level of evidence for CEJ in improving leukocyte elevation efficacy, KPS levels, and myelosuppressive toxicity. Therefore, large-scale, high-quality, rigorous multicenter double-blind controlled trials are recommended to strengthen the evidence level.
