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

objectiveTo evaluate to the efficacy and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (, SFI) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of acute leukemia (AL) by meta-analysis.

methodsPubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Journal Integration Platform, Wanfang Database were searched from establishment to November 1, 2018. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SFI combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of AL were included. The Cochrane risk assessment form (RevMan 5.1) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies.

resultsA total of 14 RCTs and 1,088 patients was included. The quality evaluation were mostly low risk or unclear. Meta-analysis showed that compared with chemotherapy alone, SFI combined with chemotherapy can improve the total clinical effective rate in patients with AL (RR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.056-1.177; P=0.0001), and relieve adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy drugs, including infection (RR=0.561, 95% CI: 0.397-0.792; P=0.001), nausea and vomiting (RR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.524-0.835; P=0.001), bleeding (RR=0.548, 95% CI: 0.39-0.768; P=0.0001), cardiotoxicity (RR=0.230, 95% CI: 0.080-0.660; P=0.006) and hyperhidrosis (RR=0.348, 95% CI: 0.208-0.581; P=0.0001). The incidence rates of adverse reactions in SFI combined with chemotherapy group were significantly lower than that of the chemotherapy alone group (P<0.01).

conclusionsShenqi Fuzheng Injection combined with chemotherapy has good efficacy and safety for AL, and it can alleviate the adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy. However, subject to the limitations of the methodological quality of the literature, the conclusions of this study need to be further verified by large-scale and multi-center RCTs.
