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

objectiveTo better understanding and differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) and their correlation with iron metabolism, cAMP/cGMP, 17-OH-CS and thyroxine.

methodsEighteen patients with SAA who underwent HSCT were enrolled. The syndrome was evaluated before conditioning and days after stem cell reinfusion (-10d, -1d, +7d, +30d, +60d, and +90d). The correlation of TCM syndrome (Yin, Yang, and stasis) to cyclic nucleotides, 17-OH-CS, thyroxine, and iron metabolism were analyzed and compared to data from normal subjects.

resultsMore "Yin deficiency" (n=11, 11/18) syndrome was observed before HSCT, and nearly 61% was complicated with "blood stasis". After conditioning, the proportion of "kidney Yin and Yang deficiency" increased to 61.6%. Fourteen days after HSCT, the syndrome developed into "Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency," and the stasis score decreased. On +90day, majority patients were diagnosed with "Kidney Yang Deficiency" (35.7%) or "Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency" (28.6%), and 88.9% were diagnosed without stasis. The correlation analysis showed that cGMP might represent "Deficient Yang" as well as low total triiodothyronine (T3) and free T3 (FT3). There was also a positive relation between labile plasma iron (LPI), hepcidin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), and "Yin deficiency", and the last two factors, along with marrow nitric oxide synthase were also positively related to "Stasis" syndrome.

conclusionDuring HSCT, the syndrome evolved from "kidney Yin and Yang deficiency" to "kidney Yang deficiency" or "spleen-kidney Yang deficiency", and the "stasis" along with "Yin deficiency" syndromes were quickly relieved within 90 days. The changes of cyclic nucleotides, 17-OH-CS, thyroxine, and iron metabolism indexes can be applied for better differentiation of TCM syndrome.
