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

backgroundPost-stroke insomnia (PSI) is a highly prevalent complication in patients with stroke. However, there has been no comprehensive systematic review assessing the efficacy and safety of herbal medicine (HM) on PSI. This protocol was developed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the evidence related to the efficacy and safety of HM on PSI.

methodsWe will perform a comprehensive electronic search, including Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, AMED, CINAHL, PsycARTICLES, and Chinese, Korean, and Japanese databases from their inception to November 2020. This systemic review will include only randomized controlled clinical trials of HM on PSI. The main outcome is the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. Two researchers will independently screen citations and abstracts, identify full-text articles for inclusion, extract data, and appraise the quality and risk of bias of included studies. A meta-analysis will be conducted using Review Manager 5.4. The evidence quality of each outcome will be appraised according to Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation.

resultsThis protocol adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-P (PRISMA-P) guidelines to ensure clarity and completeness of reporting in all phases of the systematic review.

conclusionThis study will provide evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of HM for the treatment of PSI. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical approval will be needed because data from previously published studies in which informed consent was obtained by primary investigators will be retrieved and analyzed. We will publish this systematic review in a peer-reviewed journal. OSF REGISTRATION DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/PEHQZ.
