Efficacy and safety of edaravone for acute intracerebral haemorrhage: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIntracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening condition with no effective internal treatment options. However, edaravone is a promising therapeutic agent, although its beneficial effects are inconclusive based on previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses. While several trials in the last 8 years have reported the favourable long-term functional outcomes, a few reports indicated edaravone to be associated with an increase in adverse events. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. We will perform the comprehensive and manual search for published articles, ongoing trials, dissertations and grey literature. The following databases will be searched from inception to 23 April 2020: Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese scientific periodical database of VIP INFORMATION, Wanfang Data and SinoMed, with no language restrictions. All randomised controlled trials that (1) compared edaravone with placebo or no treatment, and (2) compared edaravone plus routine treatment or cointervention with routine treatment or cointervention for treating acute ICH will be included. Mortality and long-term dependency will be the primary outcomes. The incidence of adverse events will be assessed for safety evaluation. Two reviewers in pairs will independently carry out the article selection, data extraction and quality assessment. Assessment of the risk of bias and data synthesis will be performed using software Review Manager V.5.3. Finally, we will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach to evaluate the quality of the overall evidence. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: There are no ethical considerations associated with this updated systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals or conference presentations. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019147801.
