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: The purpose is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qianyang Yuyin Granules in the treatment of vascular damage in essential hypertension systematically. Methods: Relevant literature databases include CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library. DeepSeek-V3 was used for AI-assisted retrieval. The time limit for searching was from the establishment of the database to 15 April 2025. Eligible randomized controlled clinical trials were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Publication bias assessment and quality evaluations were analysed by using the Cochrane Handbook and meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Finally, using Trial Sequential Analysis 0.9Beta software to perform the trial sequential analysis. Results: 21 studies were finally included, with a total sample of 1,419 cases, 728 cases in the experimental group and 691 cases in the control group. Meta-analysis suggested that the trial group using Qianyang Yuyin Granules was effective in lowering PWV-BS [MD = -0.58, 95%CI: (-0.88, -0.29), Conclusion: The addition of Qianyang Yuyin Granules in the treatment of vascular damage in mild-to-moderate essential hypertension can improve the clinical efficacy without increasing the adverse effects of conventional drugs, and has further clinical application value. However, further research with larger scale and stricter quality control is needed. Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42025641482.
