Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2024. 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
Background: After the emphasis of the World Health Organization (WHO) on herbal medicines as the primary source for the care and treatment of some diseases, scientific publications increased in this regard. A significant body of basic and clinical researches in the field of herbal medicines are conducted in Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute (EMRI). This scientometric study is investigated to assess the global scientific production of EMRI in field of herbal medicines and endocrine disorders. Methods: Some of our search terms were "herbal medicine", "Chinese medicine", "traditional medicine", "endocrine", "metabolism", and "emri" from Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and PubMed databases until June 20, 2020. Extracted data including first author, journal name, publication year, type of paper and number of citations were analyzed using analysis tools provided by Scopus, WOS databases, and SPSS version 15. Results: Overall, 126 studies affiliated to EMRI were published on this topic. The number of these publications showed a non-significant increasing time trend. Majority of the published papers were original articles (>60%) and the two top subject areas were medicine and drug. The documents were cited totally 2900, and 2377 times with an average citation/article 29.59, and 24.76 in Scopus and WOS, respectively. The h-index of documents were 28 and 25, in Scopus and WOS, respectively. The highest cited article was a systematic review study in field of diabetes, and top source was "Daru Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences". Top author was affiliated to EMRI, followed by an author from pharmaceutical reserachers as national co-authorship. The highest international co-authorship was with the US. Conclusions: A promising scientific productivity is shown in the studied field. However, the number of publications is insufficient, and more evidence-based publications are required on this topic.
