Soshiho-tang for treating common cold in children younger than 12 years: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundSoshiho-tang (SST) is widely used to treat common cold in East Asian countries. Many clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of SST formulas for the treatment of pediatric common cold have been reported. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the available clinical evidence on the use of SST formulas in the treatment for common cold in children younger than 12 years.
methodsFifteen databases will be searched from their inception until March 2019. We will be including the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing all types of SST formulas used in the treatment of common cold in children younger than 12 years. The methodological qualities of the RCTs will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias, while confidence in the cumulative evidence will be evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation instrument. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will also be disseminated electronically and in print. The review will be updated to inform and guide health care practices.
