Acupuncture at Neiguan Acupoint (PC6) for Coronary Heart Disease: A Scoping Review.
Review in Medical acupuncture, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Coronary heart disease (CHD), also known as coronary artery atherosclerosis, is a highly prevalent and deadly disease worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health. There is an urgent need for more convenient and cost-effective treatment modalities to improve the symptoms and prognosis of patients. Method: This article reviews existing studies on acupuncture treatment of CHD using the Neiguan acupoint (PC6), which is documented in traditional Chinese medicine for alleviating "chest congestion" and "heartache" and is a hot topic in modern clinical research. Results: Acupuncture, particularly at PC6, has unique advantages in effectively relieving the clinical symptoms of CHD patients. Conclusions: The review aims to assist in the clinical application of PC6 acupuncture for CHD by summarizing current evidence.
