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

Background: Xuebijing injection (XBJI), as a Chinese patent medicine injection, consists of five botanical drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is induced by localized inflammation, potentially resulting in multiple organ dysfunction syndromes, specifically including acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recent studies suggest that XBJI effective in alleviating potentially easing ALI and ARDS. Objective: We illustrated the efficacy and safety of XBJI for pulmonary function of AP by conducting a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Methods: We conducted searches across eight databases, including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, up to September 2024. Two independent investigators screened and selected the literature based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by data extraction. The quality of the selected studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. The data were then qualitatively analyzed and synthesized by using Review Manager software, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook. Conclusion: This study showed that using conventional therapy combined with XBJI might increase the oxygenation index, lower the respiratory rate, and improve APACHE II scores and inflammatory biomarkers. However, there is a high risk of bias and the quality of the included studies is low. More well-designed, large-sample, and high-quality trials are needed to be conducted in multiple centers.
