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

Ershiwei Roudoukou Wan, a traditional Tibetan medicine, is known for its sedative and tranquilizing properties. Although considerable progress has been made in characterizing its chemical constituents and pharmacological mechanisms, a comprehensive and systematic evaluation remains limited. This study integrates bibliometric analysis with a systematic literature review to summarize current research trends, clarify the chemical basis, and assess pharmacological evidence, thereby supporting rational clinical use. Publications on Ershiwei Roudoukou Wan and its component herbs were retrieved from the Web of Science database. After screening, 7869 articles were analyzed using CiteSpace to generate knowledge maps. Research hotspots centered on pharmacological activities, chemical composition, and methodological advances. Clinically, the formula has shown efficacy in conditions including heart-gallbladder syndrome, "Ninglong disease" and gynecological disorders. Analytical methods for several marker compounds have been established, and individual herbs contain diverse bioactive constituents-predominantly terpenoids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, and tannins. Pharmacological investigations highlight cardiovascular protection, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, anticancer activity, and neuroprotection. Despite these advances, experimental studies on the complete formulation and large-scale clinical trials remain scarce. Future research should leverage advanced analytical and pharmacological techniques to elucidate the integrated mechanisms of action and promote the modernization of Tibetan medicine.
