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

backgroundH-type hypertension is a kind of cardiovascular disease that threatens human life and health seriously. Banxia Baizhu Tianma Tang (BBTT) has been used widely for H-type hypertension while its effective evidence is not clear. Hence, we provide a systematic review protocol to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BBTT in the treatment of H-type hypertension.

methodsNine databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, WOS, Medline, CNKI, WangFang, CBM, and VIP will be searched from their inception to October 2019. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of BBTT for H-type hypertension will be included. The language is limited to Chinese and English. The primary outcome measure will be the major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE). The entire process will include study selection, data extraction, assessment of bias risk, data synthesis. Data analysis will be performed using RevMan V.5.3.5 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK).

resultsThis study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of BBTT in the treatment of H-type hypertension from several aspects, including MACCE, blood pressure (BP), blood lipids, inflammation indicators and homocysteine (Hcy).

conclusionThis systematic review will provide evidence for determining whether or not BBTT is an effective and safe intervention for H-type hypertension. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD 42019131491.
