Effects of Auricular Point Acupressure with Lifestyle Interventions on Cerebrovascular Function among Adults with High Stroke Risk: A Randomized Controlled Study.

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: To investigate the potential benefits of the auricular point acupressure on cerebrovascular function and stroke prevention among adults with high stroke risk. Methods: A randomized controlled study was performed in 105 adults at high risk for stroke between March and July 2021. Participants were randomly allocated (1 : 1) to receive either auricular point acupressure with basic lifestyle interventions ( Results: Among the 105 randomized subjects, 86 finished the intervention plans. At week 2, the auricular point acupressure therapy with lifestyle intervention group had higher kinematic indices, cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters score and lower dynamic indices than the lifestyle intervention group. Conclusions: Cerebrovascular function and cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters score were greater improved among the participants undergoing auricular point acupressure combined with lifestyle interventions than lifestyle interventions alone. Hence, the auricular point acupressure can assist the stroke prevention.
