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

introductionCervical cancer is the second largest tumor disease threatening female reproductive tract health. AS2O3 is a multi-directional and multi-target anti-cervical cancer drug. It can be combined with platinum drugs to treat cervical cancer. The literatures of AS2O3 combined with platinum drugs related to cervical cancer have shown inconsistent results, and there is currently no high quality of systematic review to evaluate the effects of AS2O3 combined with platinum drugs in cervical cancer patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: English and Chinese literature about AS2O3 combined with platinum drugs treatment for cervical cancer published before August 31, 2020 will be systematic searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Open Grey, Clinicaltrials.gov, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, WANFANG, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, CNKI, Chinese biomedical document service system (SinoMed). Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with cervical cancer will be included. Literature screening, data extraction, and the assessment of risk of bias will be independently conducted by 2 reviewers, and the 3rd reviewer will be consulted if any different opinions existed. Clinical total effective rate, adverse events, SCCAg, CYFRA21-1, quality of life, and immune function will be evaluated. Systematic review and meta-analysis will be produced by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0. This protocol reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement, and we will report the systematic review by following the PRISMA statement.

resultsThe current study is a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis without results, and data analysis will be carried out after the protocol. We will share our findings in the fourth quarter of 2021.

conclusionEfficacy and safety of AS2O3 combined with platinum drugs in the treatment of cervical cancer will be assessed. The results will be published in a public issue journal to provide evidence-based medical evidence for Obstetrician and Gynecologists to make clinical decisions. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required as the review is a secondary study based on published literature. The results of the study will be published in peer-reviewed publications and disseminated electronically or in print. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202080130.
