Traditional Chinese medicine on treating ureteral calculi: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundUreteral calculi generally refer to the temporary obstruction of the human body after the ureteral stenosis. When the ureteral stones are not discharged in time, they can grow in the original site, causing the patient to have corresponding clinical manifestations, such as: renal colic, hematuria, etc, when severe, can cause renal obstruction and hydronephrosis, seriously endangering the patient's health. Ureteral calculi usually occur in young and middle-aged people. The peak age of the disease is between 20 and 50 years old. It also occurs in the young and middle-aged labor force. The men incidence rate is 2 to 3 times that of women. Ureteral calculi is one of the current refractory diseases, and the effect after treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine is remarkable. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will search for PubMed, Cochrane Library, AMED, EMbase, WorldSciNet; Nature, Science online and China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature CD-ROM Database (CBM), and related randomized controlled trials included in the China Resources Database. The time is limited from the construction of the library to November 2018. We will use the criteria provided by Cochrane 5.1.0 for quality assessment and risk assessment of the included studies, and use the Revman 5.3 and Stata13.0 software for meta-analysis of the effectiveness, recurrence rate, and symptom scores of ureteral. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine for ureteral. Because all of the data used in this systematic review and meta-analysis has been published, this review does not require ethical approval. Furthermore, all data will be analyzed anonymously during the review process Trial.Registration number: PROSPERO CRD42019137095.
