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
Background: With the continuous in-depth research of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) and the continuous expansion of cross research with new disciplines, internationalization will become the future trend of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi). Translating the terms of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) into English is the first step for Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) to go international. Language memes play an important role in information transmission in social interpersonal communication activities. The continuous replication and dissemination of translation memes make language spread and popularized. Because there is no fixed translation method at present, based on the particularity of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi), we decided to use the Delphi method to complete the term translation research. Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide a standard and unified translation method for terms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution with Chinese characteristics through the Delphi expert consultation strategy. Methods: Forward translation and expert consensus were conducted to complete this study. We sorted out the related terms of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) theory and invited an expert from the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies (WFCMS) to complete the initial forward translation. An expert of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) theory joined this process. Then, we invite relevant professionals to evaluate this translation version using the Delphi method. Results: Following a 3-round Delphi survey, the translation criteria of 61 (92.42%) terms were unified, and 5 terms resulted in no consensus and reached consensus on the translation method of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) theory. A major problem about how to translate "" is identified. 25 experts participated in this study, and the drop-out rate is 0% in the 3-round Delphi survey. Translation challenges include the following: (1) translation methods of "Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) theory"; (2) experts' understanding deviation on the definitions of some terms. Conclusions: The average mode, full score ratio, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and variation ratio of expert scores are analyzed. The diversity of regions and professional titles of experts shows that they have a high degree of authority. The scores of terms indicate the consistent of study results, so they can be used as a reference for the translation of Chinese medicine constitution (tizhi) theory.
