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
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an integrated, evidence-based nursing protocol combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine for the management of upper limb circulatory complications in patients undergoing transradial access (TRA) coronary intervention.MethodsA non-randomized, sequential (before-after) comparative study was conducted in 346 patients undergoing transradial artery coronary intervention at a tertiary hospital. Patients treated between March and April 2024 received routine perioperative nursing care (control group, n = 195), whereas patients treated between October and November 2024 received an evidence-based integrated nursing protocol combining traditional Chinese medicine and Western nursing approaches (observation group, n = 151). The integrated protocol included a standardized "six-step finger exercise," digital and early health education, optimized postoperative monitoring, and acupoint massage interventions. Upper limb swelling and pain were assessed 2 hours postoperatively using palm circumference measurements and the Numerical Rating Scale. Outcomes were compared between the two groups using chi-squared tests.ResultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The observation group demonstrated a lower incidence of upper limb swelling (21% reduction), fewer cases of moderate-to-severe swelling (13.9% reduction), and a lower incidence of pain (15.3% reduction) compared with the control group (all
