The efficacy and safety of Xuebijing injection as an adjunctive treatment for acute pancreatitis: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the common diseases with increasing incidence in clinical surgery and other gastrointestinal-digestive departments. Despite the rapid development of modern medicine, the overall mortality rate of AP is still high. Xuebijing (XBJ) injection (a traditional Chinese patent medicine) is a potentially effective drug for AP. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of XBJ injection for AP.
methodsWe will extract data and assess methodological quality of included studies from 7 electronic databases from their inception to December 31, 2019. The primary outcomes include the mortality, surgical intervention, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), local complications, systemic infections, gastrointestinal symptoms, and normal blood amylase recovery time. The statistical analysis will be performed using RevMan 5.3 software.
resultsThis study will provide high-quality evidence for the efficacy of XBJ injection as an adjuvant therapy for AP.
conclusionThe study will provide the key evidence for clinical doctors and the development of clinical guidelines.
