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
Objective: To evaluate personalized Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) massage combined with Tuina for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and malnutrition intolerance. Methodology: Clinical data of 315 children from Hebei Children's Hospital (December 2023 - May 2025) were retrospectively analyzed and divided into a study group (n=160, personalized TCM massage plus Tuina) and a control group (n=155, routine nursing). Symptoms, growth indicators, gastrointestinal hormones [motilin (MLT), gastrin (GAS), somatostatin (SS)], nutritional markers [hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (ALB)], and complications were compared. Results: The improvement rates of symptoms such as feeding difficulties, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal distension in the research group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Post-intervention growth indicators and serum MLT, GAS, Hb, and ALB levels increased more significantly in the study group, while SS levels decreased further (P<0.05). The complication rate was lower in the study group (2.50%) than in the control group (8.39%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Personalized TCM massage combined with Tuina effectively improves clinical symptoms, promotes growth, regulates gastrointestinal hormones, and enhances nutritional status in children with CHD and malnutrition intolerance, with fewer complications than routine nursing.
