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

Based on the holistic concept of body-spirit unity and philosophical reasoning of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this study proposes the "Mind-Cognition-Emotion" system model (MCESM). It organizes mental activities into three levels: Mind Domain (Jing, Shen, Hun, Po), Cognitive Domain (Yi, Zhi Si, Lü, Zhi), and Emotional and Affective Domain (Qing, Yu, Hao, Yuan). We investigate the formation, development, and transformation of individual mental, cognitive, and emotional states. The specific components of MCESM are delineated, and the functional mechanisms, physiological attributes, and pathological alterations of mental activity are analyzed. By integrating fundamental TCM theories, it establishes the interconnection between the physical body and mental processes, linking psychological elements to physiological mechanisms, particularly in relation to organ function, qi dynamics, and qi-blood interactions. Furthermore, using depression as an example, the MCESM model is applied to illustrate its differential impact across three stages, guiding the selection of TCM-based mind-body treatments. Corresponding therapeutic approaches are presented.
