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

backgroundA numerous published studies have reported that docetaxel combined carboplatin (DC) has been utilized for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, there are still contradictory results. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis will explore the efficacy and safety of DC for the treatment of patients with CRPC.

methodsWe will systematically and comprehensively search MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, WANGFANG, CBM, and CNKI from the beginning up to the March 1, 2020, regardless language and publication time. We will consider randomized controlled trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of DC for the treatment of patients with CRPC. The treatment effects of all dichotomous data will be estimated as risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and that of continuous outcomes will be calculated as standardized mean difference or mean difference and 95% CIs. Methodological quality will be appraised by Cochrane risk of bias tool, and quality of evidence will be identified by Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation. Statistical analysis will be undertaken by RevMan 5.3 software.

resultsThis study will systematically explore the efficacy and safety of DC for the treatment of patients with CRPC.

conclusionThis study may provide helpful evidence to determine whether DC is an effective treatment for patients with CRPC or not. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: INPLASY202040076.
