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

backgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the loss of function of the ovaries before age 40. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been treating POI for long time. Therefore, we conduct this study to assess the efficacy and safety of CHM for POI.

methodsSeven databases will be searched from inception to December 31, 2018: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), WanFang Database, and Chongqing Chinese Scientific Journal Database (CQVIP). Randomized controlled trials that used CHM will be included. Two reviewers will independently complete the study selection, data extraction, and study quality assessment according to Cochrane Collaboration. All the data will be analyzed using Review Manage 5.3 software.

resultsThis study will generate a comprehensive summary on effectiveness and safety of CHM for POI.

conclusionThis study may be beneficial to health policymakers, clinicians, and patients with regard to the use of CHM in POI treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD 42019144629.
