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

backgroundClinical researchers found that Amlodipine besylate and Valsartan (ABVS) can effectively treat mild to moderate hypertension (MMH). However, no study has systematically investigated its efficacy and safety for patients with MMH. Thus, present study will systematically assess the efficacy and safety of ABVS for patients with MMH.

methodsMEDICINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Ovid, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure will be searched for literatures related to the topic from inception to the present without language limitations. All randomized controlled trials that assess the efficacy and safety of ABVS for patients with MMH will be considered for inclusion. Two researchers will independently select study, extract data, and assess risk of bias for all eligible studies.

resultsThe primary outcome includes the change of seated diastolic blood pressure. The secondary outcomes consist of the change of seated systolic blood pressure, health-related quality of life, and the tolerability.

conclusionsThe results of this study will summarize the latest evidence on ABVS for the treatment of MMH. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study does not need ethical approval, because it will not use individual data. The results of this study are expected to be published at peer-reviewed journals. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019133123.
