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 quantify pulse waveform features in healthy adults under different fasting states and to explore the relationship between gastrointestinal "deficiency" and "excess" states [in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sense] and corresponding pulse patterns at key pulse positions.
methodsFifty-one healthy participants were enrolled and underwent standardized pulse recording at three time points: pre-fasting (Day 0), during-fasting (Day 4), and post-fasting (Day 7). Pulse signals were collected at the Left
resultsSignificant differences in pulse patterns were observed across the three fasting stages, with the most pronounced changes occurring between pre-fasting and post-fasting. Overall pulse strength and related quantitative indices decreased from pre-fasting to post-fasting, and these changes were correlated with the relative fullness or emptiness of the gastrointestinal system. The Left
conclusionsThis study provides quantitative evidence that gastrointestinal loading status is reflected in measurable changes in pulse characteristics at specific TCM pulse positions, supporting classical TCM theories regarding the roles of the stomach and spleen in
