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
Herbal gardens have a long history worldwide and serve important functions in education, science popularization, cultural dissemination, tourism, and convalescence. In recent years, growing interest in health, nature, and culture has led numerous institutions to establish herbal gardens of various scales. However, standardized research on the planning and design of herbal gardens is still lacking, especially regarding species selection, planting layout, and the exploration and functional utilization of medicinal plant properties. This study conducted a detailed analysis of over 1,000 medicinal plant species in the Herbal Garden of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, focusing on taxonomy, plant habit types, ecological habits, aromatic and ornamental characteristics, medicinal functions, edible properties, and cultural significance. Based on this analysis, the study proposed design principles rooted in ecological diversity, health and safety, and practical functionality, and proposed context-specific, characteristic-driven garden planning to maximize the educational, therapeutic, and public outreach potential of herbal gardens. The findings aim to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the planning and design of diverse types of herbal gardens.
