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

backgroundSudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the most common critical illnesses encountered in clinical practice. Shenfu injection (SFI) has received extensive attention as an alternative therapy that can effectively maintain the autonomic circulation function after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, the mechanism of SFI is not yet fully understood. In addition, there has been no systematic review or meta-analysis of SFI in the treatment of patients with return of spontaneous circulation after SCA. Herein, we describe the protocol of a proposed study based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines that aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of SFI in patients with return of spontaneous circulation after SCA.

methodsTwo researchers will search 9 electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese VIP Information, Wanfang, and Chinese Biomedical Database) to identify all studies that meet the inclusion criteria and were published before July 2018. After information extraction and methodological quality evaluation, we will use Stata 13.0 software (STATA Corporation, College Station, TX, USA) to synthesize the data. The primary outcomes will be the survival rate and Glasgow Coma Scale.

resultsThe data synthesis results will objectively illustrate the efficacy and safety of SFI in patients with return of spontaneous circulation after SCA.

conclusionThe findings will provide a reference for the use of SFI in the treatment of patients with return of spontaneous circulation after SCA. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42018104230).
