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
Background: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the comparative effects of conventional perioperative care and conventional care plus Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) appropriate technology on blood glucose fluctuation, comfort level, and stress response in postoperative esophageal cancer patients. Methods: This study included 100 patients who underwent radical esophagectomy in our hospital's thoracic surgery department from January 2023 to June 2024. Patients were randomly divided into a study group and a control group, with 50 cases in each group, using a computer-generated random number table (generated via SPSS 22.0 software) to ensure randomization integrity. The control group received conventional perioperative care, while the study group received TCM appropriate technology in addition to conventional care. Blood glucose fluctuations were monitored 1 day before surgery, and on postoperative Days 1, 3, 7, and 14. On the day before surgery and postoperative Day 14, the General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) and Perceived Nursing Service Quality (PNSQ) scale were used to evaluate patients' comfort levels and perception of service quality. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to assess psychological stress state. Physiological stress was evaluated by analyzing adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol (Cor) levels. Results: Significant differences in blood glucose fluctuation values were observed between the study group and control group (between-group F = 9.457, Conclusion: TCM appropriate technology significantly reduces blood glucose fluctuations in patients undergoing radical esophagectomy, improves patient comfort levels, and positively impacts psychological stress (via higher Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [CD-RISC] scores: 74.23 ± 10.3 vs. 65.34 ± 9.06) and physiological stress (via lower adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH]: 12.23 ± 1.68 vs. 14.41 ± 1.98 ng/L; cortisol [Cor]: 9.46 ± 1.29 vs. 10.22 ± 1.41 ng/L).
