The Efficacy of Yanghe Decoction on Diabetic Foot: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in International journal of endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To evaluate the potential clinical effect of Yanghe decoction on diabetic foot. Methods: We comprehensively searched Web of Science, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases from their inception to December 6, 2025, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating Yanghe decoction for DF. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 15.0 software. Results: A total of 15 studies with 1224 patients were included, 614 in the treatment group and 610 in the control group. The results suggest that the total effective rate of the treatment group may be higher than that of the control group (RR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.29, Conclusions: Low certainty evidence suggests that Yanghe decoction may potentially improve the clinical symptoms of diabetic foot, may shorten the wound healing time, and may reduce the wound area. However, the independent clinical efficacy of Yanghe decoction for diabetic foot cannot be determined due to the high heterogeneity of cointerventions in the included studies. This study is further limited by the insufficient quantity and quality of the included studies, and the above tentative implications need to be verified by more large-sample and multicenter RCT studies that standardize interventions and control for cointervention variables.
