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
Background: To explore how Baoyuan and Taohong Siwu decoctions combined with Western medicine affect triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Methods: Ninety elderly patients with coronary heart disease who were hospitalized from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups based on different treatment methods, with 45 patients in each group. The control group was treated with Western medicine alone, while the research group was treated with the combination of Baoyuan and Taohong Siwu decoctions based on the control group. The improvement of traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, various blood lipid levels, and serum indicators of cardiac function were compared between two groups before treatment, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of treatment. Results: Before treatment, the two groups had identical Traditional Chinese Medicine symptom scores, various blood lipid levels, and various serum indicators of cardiac function (P> 0.05). After treating 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months, the chest pain, tightness, fatigue, and sweating scores in the research group were lower (P< 0.05). The TG, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels in the research group were lower (P< 0.05). The levels of plasma N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the research group were lower (P <0.05). Conclusions: Combining Baoyuan and Taohong Siwu decoctions and Western medicine treatment can help improve the symptoms and signs of coronary heart disease in the elderly. It can reduce the levels of various indicators such as LDL-C, TG, TC, and HDL-C in the body and promote the improvement of cardiac function.
