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

backgroundThe main component of cinobufacini injection is dry toad skin, which is used as adjuvant therapy for stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer patients in long-term combination with vinorelbine and cisplatin. However, the efficacy and safety of this combination therapy remain unclear.

methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted following the preferred reported items for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines. Two independent reviewers (LRL and ZLN) will carry out a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, the Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Databases, China Biology Medicine. The last search date will be July 30, 2020. Reference list of all selected articles will independently screened to identify additional studies left out in the initial search. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool will be used to evaluate the risk of bias of the randomized controlled trials. Outcome index: The main efficacy indicators were based on the objective efficacy evaluation criteria of the World Health Organization antineoplastic drugs or the objective efficacy evaluation criteria of solid tumors established by RECIST. Secondary criteria Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) score, pain efficacy criteria, side effects of chemotherapy such as myelosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis will be conducted using Review Manager V5.3 software.

resultsThis study will systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cinobufacini combined with vinorelbine and cisplatin in the treatment of stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer. The results of this systematic review will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. ETHICS: The ethical approval is not required since systematic review is based on published studies. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202060091.
