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

backgroundStable angina pectoris (SAP) is a global health challenge. Multiple previous systematic reviews (SRs) have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture and related therapies on SAP. We will carry out a comprehensive overview to map, synthesize, and assess the all the available evidence of acupuncture and related therapies on SAP.

methodsWe will search 7 databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), WanFang Database, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, MEDLINE. SRs and meta-analyses (MAs) of acupuncture and related therapies on SAP will be screened for eligibility. Systematic reviews, qualification evaluation, data extraction, methodological quality, and evidence quality evaluation will be conducted in pairs. The outcomes of interest include: frequency of angina attack, changes in nitroglycerin use, intensity of anginal pain, depression assessment, changes of the electrocardiogramme (ECG), anxiety assessment, results of the Six-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT), overall effectiveness, the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), and adverse events. Where appropriate, the evidence will be synthesized based on the outcomes and patient subgroups.

resultsThis overview will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

conclusionThis overview is expected to provide a reliable and valuable evidence of acupuncture for treating SAP. ETHICS AND COMMUNICATION: Given that this is an overview of published research, patient consent and ethical approval are not needed. The findings of this study will be disseminated through conference presentations and publication in peer-reviewed journals. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020164466.
