1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In this study, we compared the clinical efficacy and safety of various Yiqi Chinese medicine injections in chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD) through pairwise meta-analyses and indirect comparisons within a systematic review. We searched seven databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the protective effects of Yiqi Chinese medicine injections combined with standard care on CPHD. The literature search period extended from the establishment of the database to June 30, 2025. RevMan 5.4.1 and Stata 14.0 were used for quality assessment, pairwise meta-analyses, and indirect comparisons. This study incorporated a total of 72 articles, which collectively involved 5836 patients and examined six distinct types of traditional Chinese medicine injections. The results indicated that the adjuvant conventional treatments of Shenfu, Shenmai, Huangqi, Shengmai, Xinmailong, and Shenqi Fuzheng injections were more effective than conventional treatment alone (
