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

Currently, many studies have focused on the possibility of using mean platelet volume (MPV) as a biomarker for disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To derive a more accurate estimation, a meta-analysis was conducted. Embase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library database and several Chinese databases (up to Nov 1 2017) were used to acquire published literatures on association of MPV levels with disease activity in SLE patients. Fixed-effects or random-effect model analysis was performed to calculate pooled standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity test was tested by the Q statistic and quantified using I
