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
backgroundTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is often used to treat chronic urticarial (CU), so its efficacy and safety on CU were studied according to systematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsBy searching PubMed, Wanfang, CNKI, and other databases for the literature on the treatment of CU with TCM in the past 10 years (2013-2023), the PICOS principle was used as the criterion for inclusion and exclusion of literature, and the quality of the included literature studies was systematically reviewed according to the Cochrane systematic review method and software RevMan5.3.
resultsA total of 14 articles were included, including 1192 patients. According to the analysis results, the total effective rate of TCM in the treatment of CU was (RR = 1.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.16-1.29], P < .00001), the incidence of adverse reactions and recurrence rates were (RR = 0.23, 95% CI [0.13-0.39], P < .00001) and (RR = 0.24, 95% CI [0.13-0.43], P < .00001), and the symptom score was (MD = -0.38, 95% CI [-0.81-0.05], P = .08). The most frequently used Chinese herbs were Windbreak, Licorice, Angelica sinensis, Schizonepeta, Cicada slough, Cassia twig, Astragalus membranaceus, schisandra chinensis, Cortex dictamni and Dark plum.
conclusionTCM has great advantages in the treatment of CU, can effectively improve the symptoms, the curative effect is stable and safe, but there are still some deficiencies in the standardization of curative effect evaluation.
