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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of abdominal moxibustion at the Zhongji (CV3) combined with Yiqi Tonglin Yangyin decoction and antibiotics on elderly women with complicated urinary tract infections.
methodsOne hundred and forty-four elderly female patients diagnosed with complicated urinary tract infections and admitted to our hospital were selected for this study. They were randomly assigned to two groups: the dual treatment group, consisting of 72 patients, treated with antibiotics combined with Yiqi Tonglin Yangyin decoction, and the triple treatment group, comprising 72 patients, who received abdominal moxibustion at the Zhongji (CV3) in addition to the dual treatment. The clinical efficacy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome score, immune function indicators, oxidative stress status indicators, symptom recovery, and recurrence were evaluated and compared.
resultsBefore treatment, there was no statistically significant differences observed in the TCM syndrome score, levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), xanthine oxidoreductase (XOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) between the two groups (
conclusionAbdominal moxibustion at the Zhongji (CV3), combined with Yiqi Tonglin Yangyin decoction and antibiotics for treating complicated urinary tract infections in elderly women, can effectively improve the clinical symptoms, TCM syndromes, and immune function of patients. Additionally, it can reduce oxidative stress, promote patient recovery, and lower the recurrence rate with pronounced comprehensive efficacy.
