Electrical stimulation for limb spasticity in children with traumatic brain injury: Study protocol for a systematic review of randomized controlled trial.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPrevious clinical studies have reported that electrical stimulation (ES) can be utilized to treat children with limbs spasticity (LS) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Currently, no systematic review has addressed the effect of ES in children with LS following TBI. Thus, this systematic review will assess the effect and safety of ES for the children with LS after TBI.
methodsWe will conduct the present systematic review of randomized controlled trials that will be retrieved from searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, WOS, Scopus, OpenGrey, Google Scholar, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from the inception to the date of the literature searched. In addition, the clinical register websites, and reference lists of relevant studies will also be searched. Two independent reviewers will evaluate the eligibility criteria for all papers, extract the data and determine the methodology quality by using Cochrane risk of bias tool.
resultsThe results of this systematic review will pool the latest available data, and are expected to provide the summary of present evidence of ES for children with LS following TBI. TIMELINE: This systematic review will start on January 10, 2019 and expected to complete by June 1, 2019. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No research ethic approval is needed in this study, because the data of this systematic review will not base on the individual data level. The results will be disseminated to publish at peer-reviewed journals or will present at relevant conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019120037.
