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

backgroundsPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) constitutes an endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by hyperandrogenemia, ovulation disorders, and polycystic ovary. Existing therapy is low efficacy and has significant side effects. In traditional Chinese medicine, tanshinone was used for PCOS women. Here, we will investigate the safety, as well as the efficacy of tanshinone in treating polycystic ovary syndrome.

methodsTwo researchers will independently research eligible randomized controlled trials in 6 repositories: PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), as well as Cochrane Library, from their onset to present. The languages will constitute either English or Chinese, and we will carry out article selection, data mining, and conduct an evaluation of the risk of bias by the Cochrane tool of risk of bias. All analyses will be conducted by using the Cochrane Review Manager software (RevMan 5.3). RESULTS AND

conclusionThis study will provide the latest research evidence on the efficacy, as well as safety of tanshinone for PCOS patients. REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY2020100017.
