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.

However, due to the lack of evidence, there is no specific method or suggestion, it is necessary to systematically evaluate coptidis so as to provide effective evidence for further research. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The following databases will be searched from their inception to June 2020: Electronic databases included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Nature, Science Online, WanFang China Biomedical Database, VIP Medical Information, CNKI (Knowledge Infrastructure of China). MAIN OUTCOMES: Colonoscopy, improved condition (tenesmus), stool routine. Additional outcomes: Electrocardiogram (ECG), erythrocyte (RBC), leukocyte (WBC), platelet (PLT). Data will be extracted by 2 researchers independently, risk of bias of the meta-analysis will be evaluated based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. All data analysis will be conducted by data statistics software Review Manager V.5.3. and Stata V.12.0.

resultsThe results of this study will systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhizoma coptidis intervention in patients with Ulcerative Colitis.
