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

Aim: The aim of this study is to provide evidence of the effect of Duhuo Jisheng decoction (DHJSD) on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of the cold-dampness obstruction syndrome type. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang database, and the China Biology Medicine for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating DHJSD or DHJSD combined with other conventional therapies (DHJSD group) compared to conventional therapy (control group) for cold-dampness obstruction syndrome-type KOA. We calculated the pooled odds ratio (OR), mean difference (MD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) using fixed- or random-effects models. Results: Eleven RCTs, with a total of 895 patients, were included. The results showed that DHJSD could significantly improve the effective rate (OR = 3.13, 95%CI = 2.07 to 4.72, Conclusion: This study shows that DHJSD can improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the VAS and WOMAC scores in the treatment of cold-dampness obstruction syndrome-type KOA. Compared with GS or WA alone, the combined application of DHJSD with GS or WA could better reduce both the VAS and WOMAC scores.
