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

Electroacupuncture (EA) therapy combines electrical stimulation with traditional acupuncture therapy and is widely used as a physical therapy in various fields. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition. Applying EA in the treatment of CHD patients has proven to effectively enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve prognosis. This paper summarizes the potential mechanisms of EA in the treatment of CHD, its therapeutic effects on CHD patients, and analyzes the current bottlenecks in the application of EA therapy for CHD. Furthermore, it discusses potential future directions for EA in CHD management.
