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

backgroundTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gradually drawn the attention of clinicians as an alternative choice for insomniacs and TCM yangxin anshen therapy (TYAT), as a crucial therapy of treating insomniacs, is based on the theory of syndrome differentiation. However, owing to the lack of evidence-based medical evidence, the authors intend to carry out this study to evaluate TYAT's effectiveness and safety.

methodsSeven electronic databases will be searched from inception to July 2019. Two authors will independently identify randomized controlled trials, fetch data and assess the risk of bias with tools provided by Cochrane. A comprehensive meta-analysis will be conducted with the Cochrane Collaboration software (Review Manager 5.3) for eligible and appropriate studies. Further, the evidence will be assessed with the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation approach.

resultsThis article will be dedicated to assessing TYAT's efficacy and safety for insomniacs.

conclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis may provide persuasive evidence for the clinical application of TYAT in treating insomnia. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD 42019135115.
