Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: Women with singleton pregnancies before 16 weeks and mild or moderate nausea/vomiting
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Oral Zintoma capsules derived from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale Roscoe. Gingerol/shogaol assays, extraction methods, batches and standardization remain unverified.

- Application exceptions: All-arm analysis is distinguished from the selected direct comparison, and allocation, main-analysis and direct-comparison denominators are not interchanged or added. New effects, confidence intervals or withdrawal counts are not calculated. Nausea results are not extended to vomiting, admission, replacement of hyperemesis treatment, pregnancy outcomes or long-term safety.
- Remaining uncertainty: Gaps remain in product-specific directness, prespecified endpoint hierarchy, exact pairwise effects, denominators, allocation, blinding, missingness, measurement, multiplicity, independent replication, support and harms. Existing grade, cross-check and correction wording are historical records, not current external reading or new clinical certification.
- Referenced methods: Existing principles distinguish population, product, oral dose, duration, dietary advice, nausea endpoint, prespecified hierarchy, all-arm/selected comparisons, denominators, overlapping reports, support and harms in the retained ginger reports.

Hu et al. (2022): Effect of ginger in the treatment of nausea and vomiting compared with vitamin B6 and placebo during pregnancy: a meta-analysis

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31937153/)

Materials actually read: Stored summary and bibliography read; external paper, registration and planning material unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: In 13 studies with 1,174 people, nausea versus placebo had SMD 0.821, 95% CI 0.585~1.056 and I²=38.9%.

Formulations, doses, scales and methods vary; product-specific effects and exact sign conventions remain unverified.  
Record level: Retained pooled nausea result and active-comparator boundary; not a product-specific effect  
Independent replication: The inclusion relationship and overlap between the direct trial and meta-analysis remain unverified.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Partial information from the stored summary is linked; detailed originals and content review remain incomplete.
- Unverified: Required details cannot be established within the preserved scope. This does not establish absence of effects or studies, or safety.
- Review incomplete: Review of existing content remains incomplete.
- Met: This state is used only within the relevant conditions after material verification and content review. It was not automatically assigned in this work.
- Not reported: Unreported within material actually read. Unread external material is not relabeled as unreported.
- Inaccessible: This means actual access failure. External access was not attempted in this work, so this state was not assigned.
- Not applicable: Used only with an application exception and reason based on the question scope.
- Conflicting data: This requires actual comparison of materials; no new conflict judgment was made in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: This indicates gaps in additional material for the selected conditions. Unread material as a whole is not converted into an efficacy grade.
