Effects of Gushukang for postmenopausal osteoporosis: A protocol for 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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPostmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is one of the most common systemic bone diseases with a high risk of fracture. Traditional herbal formula Gushukang (GSK) has been used to treat PMO. However, there is no systematic review related to GSK for PMO. The object of this work is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK in the management of PMO.
methodsWe will search the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials, China national knowledge infrastructure database (CNKI), Wan fang database, Chongqing VIP information, and SinoMed from their inception to May 2020. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of GSK for the treatment of PMO will be included. The improvement of vertebral fracture and bone mineral density (BMD) will be accepted as the primary outcomes. The meta-analyses will be performed by using the RevMan 5.3.
resultsThis study will provide a high-quality comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy and safety of GSK for treating patients with PMO.
conclusionThe conclusion of our systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether GSK is an effective intervention for patients with PMO. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MKN3F.
