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

backgroundThe specific benefits of Yangxinshi tablet (YXST) in the treating chronic heart failure (CHF) remain uncertain.

aimTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of YXST in the treatment of CHF.

methodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating YXST for CHF treatment were retrieved from eight public databases up to November 2023. Meta-analyses of the included clinical studies were conducted using Review Manager 5.3.

resultsTwenty RCTs and 1845 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the YXST combination group, compared to the conventional drug group, significantly increased the clinical efficacy rate by 23% [relative risk (RR) = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.17-1.29],

conclusionYXST effectively improves clinical symptoms and cardiac function in patients with CHF while maintaining a favorable safety profile, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for CHF.
