Reunderstanding the classical prescription Banxia Xiexin Decoction: new perspectives from a comprehensive review of clinical research and pharmacological studies.
Review in Chinese medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Classical prescriptions of Chinese medicine represent the crystallized wisdom of millennia of clinical practice, enduring as cornerstones of therapeutic intervention due to their demonstrated efficacy across generations. Their evolving role in modern healthcare systems reflects shifting disease patterns, scientific advancements, and global health priorities. Banxia Xiexin Decoction (BXD), formulated by Zhang Zhongjing in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases (Shanghanlun), is a time-honored classical prescription renowned for its therapeutic versatility in managing gastrointestinal disorders, both in China and internationally. Recent advancements in clinical research and pharmacological studies on BXD underscore the necessity for a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to summarize and elucidate its specific clinical benefits. Through an extensive literature review of publications from the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) between 1997 and 2024, 11 major categories of clinical applications for BXD were identified, along with an analysis of the potential pharmacological mechanisms, such as chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, and inflammatory bowel disease. We believe this review will provide new insights into the understanding of clinical value of BXD and identify potential future perspectives for its research and development.
