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

backgroundThis study will be proposed for assessing the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with liver cancer (LC).

methodsWe will identify the relevant literatures of ES for CINV in patients with LC from following databases: Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception to the date of literature searched without any language restrictions. Randomized controlled trials and case-control studies on assessing of effects and safety of ES for CINV in patients with LC will be included. Methodological quality for all included studies will be assessed by using Cochrane risk of bias tool. RevMan 5.3 software (Cochrane Community, London, UK) will be used to analyze the data.

resultsThis study will summarize current evidence for ES on CINV in patients with LC. Primary outcome includes symptoms severity. Secondary outcomes consist of appetite, performance status, health-related quality of life, and adverse events.

conclusionThe results of this study will provide latest evidence to judge the effects and safety for ES on CINV in patients with LC. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019126379.
