Acupuncture for Pain and Function in Patients with Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Study Protocol for an Up-to-Date Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Aim: To assess the pain and function of acupuncture in patients with nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP). Design: This is a study protocol for an upcoming, updated systematic review and meta-analysis. We have registered on the PROSPERO platform, and the registration number is CRD42020149647. Methods: We will identify studies in seven English databases, including Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Medline, Embase, and Scopus, and in four Chinese databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), Wanfang Database, and VIP database. We will also manually search key journals about acupuncture, the references of identified relevant trials, and the Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Different search strategies of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and non-MeSH terms will be applied alone or integrated. We will evaluate methodological quality by adopting Cochrane's risk of bias criteria and perform a meta-analysis using RevMan V.5.4 software. Results: This study's results will be reported according to the PRISMA checklist and presented at an authoritative scientific conference or an authoritative scientific journal.
