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

backgroundChronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is defined as an important precancerous disease in the development of gastric cancer. Early intervention of CAG is of great significance in reducing symptoms and blocking its progression to gastric cancer. Weifuchun (WFC) tablet is a classic Chinese patent medicine used to treat CAG. However, there is no systematic review related to WFC for atrophic gastritis published in English. we will conduct systematic review and meta-analysis to provide more evidence on the effectiveness and safety for clinical use of WFC. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Three English database and 4 Chinese databases will be searched from its inception to April 2020. Two trained researchers will independently select the qualified studies for data extraction and assess the quality and risk of bias. Then the meta-analyses will be performed by using the RevMan 5.2 and stata 14.0. The heterogeneity of data will be investigated by Cochrane X and I tests. Sensitivity analysis will be conducted to evaluate the stability of the results. A funnel plot analysis and Egger's test will be drawn to assess the publication bias. Finally, we will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluate system to evaluate the methodological quality.

resultsThe results of our research will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

conclusionThe conclusion of our systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether WFC is an effective intervention for patient with CAG. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: 10.17605/OSF.IO/2UTMB.
