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

backgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), known as lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease and there is no cure for SLE. The western medication can improve syndromes to some extent; however, severe adverse drug reactions appear at the same time. Recently, it is confirmed that Chinese medicine also can have an excellent clinical efficacy on SLE. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The following databases will be searched for relevant information before July 2020: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. MAJOR

resultslevels of total remission rate, SLEDAI. Secondary results: The laboratory index about C3 levels, Hb levels, white blood cell levels, and adverse event. Data will be collected independently by 2 researchers, and the risk of bias in meta analysis will be evaluated according to "Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions." All data analysis will be conducted using Review Manager V.5.3. and Stata V.12.0.

resultsThe curative effect and safety of Chinese herbal compound prescription treatment for SLE patients will be evaluated systematically.

conclusionThe systematic review of this study will summarize the currently published evidence of Chinese herbal compound prescription treatment for SLE to further guide its promotion and application. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also will not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval is not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences.
