Applicability Evaluation Guideline for Diagnostic Criteria of Chinese Medicine Syndromes.
Article in Journal of evidence-based medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo develop a guideline for the applicability evaluation tool of the Diagnostic Criteria for Chinese Medicine Syndromes, aiming to enhance the clinical applicability of syndrome diagnostic criteria and promote their widespread adoption and application.
methodsThis guideline was developed using the Delphi method, with reference to the Guideline on Establishing Diagnostic Criteria of Chinese Medicine Syndromes, relevant international evaluation tools, and published diagnostic criteria for Chinese medicine syndromes.
resultsThe guideline specifies the principles, procedures, and scoring criteria for evaluating the applicability of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome diagnostic criteria. The guideline consists of 5 domains and 25 items: accessibility, readability, implementability, acceptability, and overall evaluation. Each item is assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating better applicability.
conclusionsThis guideline provides a systematic and evidence-based framework for evaluating the applicability of diagnostic criteria for Chinese medicine syndromes. It may help improve the clinical applicability of syndrome diagnostic criteria and support their dissemination and implementation in clinical practice.
