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 aims to systematically assess the effectiveness of high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) on pressure ulcer (PU).

methodsIn this study, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure will be searched from inception to the present without any language limitations. The primary outcomes include change in ulcer area, and time complete healing. The secondary outcomes consist of proportion of ulcers healed within trial period, quality of life, pain intensity, and adverse events. Cochrane risk of bias tool will be used to assess methodological quality. RevMan 5.3 software (London, UK) will be used to analyze the data.

resultsThis study will analyze change in ulcer area, time complete healing, proportion of ulcers healed within study period, quality of life, pain intensity, and adverse events on HFUS in patients with PU.

conclusionThis study will provide most recent evidence for the effectiveness and safety of HFUS for patients with PU. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019138177.
