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

backgroundThe objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES) for the treatment of patients with migraine.

methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure will be searched for eligible studies. All electronic databases will be searched from inception to the present with no language restriction. Two authors will independently carry out study selection, data collection, and study quality assessment, respectively. RevMan 5. 3 software will be used for statistical analysis.

resultsThis study will summarize high quality evidence on the efficacy and safety of ES for the treatment of migraine.

conclusionThis study will establish the accurate results of ES for migraine to facilitate the clinical practice and guideline development. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42019147480.
