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
Aim: To explore the effect of acupuncture Baihui acupoint-Yintang acupoint-Neiguan acupoint combined with conventional Western medicine treatment on insomnia patients by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: This study adopted a randomized controlled design. From June 2021 to December 2022, 100 patients with insomnia who were admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into the control group and the study group. The control group received conventional Western medicine treatment. Based on the alprazolam treatment in the control group, the study group received acupuncture treatment. All patients underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. The fMRI data, sleep quality and anxiety symptoms of patients were compared between the two groups. Results: After 28 days of treatment, the average cerebral blood flow values of cerebellar cortex, thalamic nucleus, occipital lobe, frontal lobe, and parietal lobe of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( Conclusion: Acupuncture Baihui acupoint-Yintang acupoint-Neiguan acupoint combined with conventional Western medicine treatment can effectively improve the sleep quality and anxiety symptoms of insomnia patients, and fMRI visualizes the effect of acupuncture, provides guidance for acupuncture treatment.
