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

Background and ObjectiveSu He Xiang Pill (SHXP) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for treating acute stroke. This study systematically evaluates the efficacy and safety of SHXP to provide evidence for integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine treatment approaches for acute stroke.MethodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) on SHXP for acute stroke were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and other databases up to December 2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature, selected eligible studies, extracted data, and performed meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4. The primary outcome was the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS); secondary outcomes included China Stroke Scale (CSS), Barthel Index (BI), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and adverse drug reactions (ADR).ResultsA total of 26 RCTs involving 2537 patients were included. Compared with conventional treatment alone: ① SHXP significantly reduced NIHSS scores (19 studies, MD = -2.37, 95% CI: -3.05 to -1.70, p < 0.00001) ; ② SHXP significantly improved BI scores (5 studies, MD = 9.79, 95% CI: 8.71 to 10.86, p < 0.00001); ③ No significant increase in ADR was observed (17 studies, OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.39 to 0.82, p = 0.002).ConclusionsSHXP exhibits significant efficacy and safety in treating acute stroke (onset within 2 weeks), supporting its use in integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to improve clinical outcomes.
