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

backgroundBuyang Huanwu Tang (BHT) is a well-known herbal complex used for stroke treatment and has been used mainly during post-stroke rehabilitation in East Asia. In this review, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BHT as a treatment for post-stroke fatigue (PSF).

methodsEight databases will be searched for relevant studies from inception to the present date. We will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which assess the effect and safety of BHT for the treatment of PSF. The methodological qualities, including the risk of bias (RoB), will be evaluated using the Cochrane RoB assessment tool. After screening the studies, a meta-analysis of the RCTs will be done.

resultsThis study will provide high-quality synthesis of current evidence of BHT for PSF.

conclusionThe conclusion of our systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether BHT is an effective intervention for patients with PSF. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required, as this study is based on the review of published research. This review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and disseminated both electronically and in print. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019130178.
