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

backgroundOculomotor paralysis (OP) is a neurologic syndrome with multiple causes of oculomotor nerve and its dominant tissue and muscle dysfunction. Acupuncture combined with tuina is a wide-ranging used rehabilitation therapy, although there is short of supporting evidence for its efficacy and safety in patients with OP. The purpose of this systematic review was to estimate and synthesize evidence of the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with tuina in the treatment of OP.

methodsElectronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Technology Journal and China Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang,adopt an appropriate search strategy. RevMan V.5.3.5 software will be used for data synthesis, bias risk, and subgroup analyses.

resultsThis study provides high-quality evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture combined with tuina for OP.

conclusionThis systematic review explores whether acupuncture combined with tuina is an effective and safe intervention for OP. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Private information from individuals will not publish. This systematic review does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval was not obtained. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42021266447.
