Can neuroprotection effectively manage primary open-angle glaucoma? a protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aims to assess the efficacy of neuroprotection (NP) for the management of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsA comprehensive search will be carried out from the beginning to the February 29, 2020 in the electronic databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, WANGFANG, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. There are no limitations related to the language and publication date. Two researchers will independently undertake study selection from searched literatures, extract data from included trials, and appraise study quality using Cochrane risk of bias tool. Any disagreements will be solved by a third researcher through consultation. RevMan 5.3 software will be employed for statistical analysis.
resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of randomized controlled trials of NP for the management of patients with POAG.
conclusionsThe results of this study will help to create proposals for the treatment of POAG using NP. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: INPLASY202040107.
