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

backgroundThe arrival of transcatheter mitral valve therapies has provided feasible and safe alternatives to medical and surgical treatments for mitral regurgitation. The aim of this study is to estimate the relative efficacy and safety of different transcatheter mitral valve therapies for mitral regurgitation patients through network meta-analysis.

methodsA systematic search will be performed using PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure to include random controlled trials and nonrandom controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of different transcatheter mitral valve techniques. The risk of bias for the included nonrandom controlled studies will be evaluated according to Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies - of Interventions. For random controlled trials, we will use Cochrane Handbook version 5.1.0 as the risk of bias tool. A Bayesian network meta-analysis will be conducted using R-4.0.3 software. Grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation will be used to assess the quality of evidence.

resultsThe results of this network meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.

conclusionThis study will provide broad evidence of efficacy and safety of different transcatheter mitral valve therapies for treatment of mitral regurgitation and provide suggestions for clinical practice and future research. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY2020110034.
