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

context

objectiveThe clinical studies of GSZD for the treatment of gout were systematically reviewed to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety.

methodsAll randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to GSZD and gout were collected starting from the database establishment until 29 February 2020, from the Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Knowledge, VIP and other databases. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in strict accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) statement, and all analysis of the test was completed using Stata (SE12.0) and Revman (5.3).

resultsA total of 535 studies were searched, and 13 studies were included in our meta-analysis (

conclusionsOur present works suggested that GSZD could be considered as an effective alternative remedy for clinical treatment of gout. In addition, it also provides a scientific basis for GSZD to be better applied in clinic in the future.
