Efficacy and safety of massage in the treatment of poststroke depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis of protocols.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundPoststroke depression (PSD) is a severe problem; it will significantly increase the mortality of patients after stroke, and affect the quality of life of patients after discharge. For stroke patients without noticeable adverse reactions, massage can effectively improve the patient's mood, thereby treating poststroke depression. But so far, there is still no systematic research to provide reliable evidence that massage can effectively treat poststroke depression. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to comprehensively summarize and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of massage therapy for poststroke depression.
methodsWe conduct a detailed search regardless of publication grade and language status. The search databases include the Web of Science, the Cochrane Library search, EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI, Chinese biomedical literature database, Chongqing VIP, and Wanfang. All randomized controlled trials and cohort studies on massage therapy for poststroke depression are published, as of November 15, 2020. The team consists of 2 experienced researchers who will select the retrieved documents and extract data. Later they used RevMan V.5.3 software for data analysis and data synthesis.
resultsThe effectiveness and safety of massage therapy intended for poststroke depression will be subject to a systematic evaluation under this program.
conclusionIt will be substantiated in this review whether massage therapy is a reliable intervention for poststroke depression by examining the evidence collected. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY2020110085.
