Acupoint for angina pectoris: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
introductionPatients with angina pectoris (AP) often experience heavy psychological distress, especially anxiety and depression, which results in poorer quality of life, shorter survival time. Acupoint therapies, including massage, acupuncture, acupoints injection, acupressure, and moxibustion, showed clinical and long-lasting benefits for AP, but the efficiency of acupoint therapies was poorly evaluated. The current review is attempted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the different acupoint-based therapies for AP. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A literature search will be conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Wan Fang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Observational studies regarding the association between liver cancer and depression and anxiety written in English or Chinese will be included. Study inclusion, data extraction, and quality assessment will be performed independently by 2 reviewers. We will use RevMan V.5.0 and STATA V.12.0 software for statistical analysis. The I2 test will be used to identify the extent of heterogeneity. Publication bias will be assessed by generating a funnel plot and performing the Begg and Egger test. The quality of the systematic review will be evaluated using the Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria. With the permitted numeric data, we will carry out a meta-analysis.
resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of pain VAS and functional disability or the quality of life, the success treatment rate, the recurrent rate and the complications rate to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupoint for AP patients. This systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether acupoint is an effective intervention for patients with AP.
conclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis will provide evidence to judge whether acupoint is an effective intervention for patients with AP and provide evidence for designing early targeted interventions for high-risk survivors that can attenuate negative reactions.
