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

The traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation known as Jinbei Oral Liquid (JBOL) consists of 12 herbs, including Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge, Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf, et al. Having been used for over 30 years in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, JBOL was evaluated in this study in order to assess its effect on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as well as its safety (ChiCTR2000035351, Chictr.org.cn.09/08/2020). A double-blind, multicenter, randomized, proof-of-concept trial was conducted to assess the efficacy of oral JBOL 40 ml and Corbrin Capsules 1 g compared to a placebo and Corbrin Capsules in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Over a 26-week period, patients received the active treatment or placebo three times daily, in a 1:1 ratio. This clinical study uses a randomized method, with a cycle of every 4 patients. TCM doctors at or above the deputy director level of the research center conduct TCM dialectics on IPF patients. To assess efficacy, over the duration of the trial, we measured serial changes in a composite indicator encompassing time to first acute exacerbation of IPF (first hospitalization or death due to respiratory cause), total lung capacity (TLC) (mL), predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%), forced vital capacity (FVC) (mL), predicted diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (predicted DLco%), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score, and arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO
