A core outcome set for clinical trials of Chinese medicine for hyperlipidemia: a study protocol for a systematic review and a Delphi survey.
Article in Trials, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundHyperlipidemia, defined as elevated lipid levels, is the primary and major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Several studies have evaluated the effects of Chinese medicine (CM) on hyperlipidemia. However, due to the varied designs and methods of these studies, data synthesis has been difficult, restricting the practical value of the findings. Developing a core outcome set (COS) could solve these methodological concerns. In this paper, we report a protocol to develop a COS for CM clinical trials for hyperlipidemia (COS-CM-Hyperlipidemia).
methodsThe development of COS-CM-Hyperlipidemia will include four stages: (1) a systematic review to identify potential important outcomes-a study advisory group, composed of core stakeholders of hyperlipidemia, will be set up afterwards to evaluate the identified outcomes and a candidate outcome set will be developed accordingly; (2) a panel of experts will be invited to conduct a three-round Delphi survey, so that the experts' opinions on the importance of outcomes for treating hyperlipidemia with CM will be collected; (3) a consensus meeting with clinicians, patients, and other key stakeholders will be conducted to finalize the items and definitions; and (4) COS-CM-Hyperlipidemia will be promoted and updated. DISCUSSION: The development of this COS will improve the design and operation of CM trials on hyperlipidemia, keeping them in compliance with international standards, as well as the comparability and utility of their results.
