Tianma Gouteng decoction for essential hypertension: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEssential hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases, as well as one of the leading risk factors for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Tianma Gouteng decoction has been commonly used in clinical practice for patients with essential hypertension. It is important to update the search and evaluation to provide the best available evidence for essential hypertension. Here, we provide a protocol to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tianma Gouteng decoction (TGD) for essential hypertension.
methodsRetrieve literature on the TGD treatment for essential hypertension in the databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, and Chinese Science and Technology Periodical database (VIP) on computer. The literature to be collected will be those published from the time when the respective databases were established to January 2018. The therapeutic effects according to the blood pressure (BP) will be accepted as the primary outcomes. We will use RevMan V.5.3 software as well to compute the data synthesis carefully when a meta-analysis is allowed.
resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of TGD for essential hypertension from several aspects including BP, life quality, heart rate, and adverse events.
conclusionThe conclusion of our systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether TGD is an effective intervention for patient with essential hypertension. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD 42018082319.
