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

Exclusion criteria can limit the generalizability and translation of research findings into clinical practice. The objective of this study is to characterize the trends of exclusion criteria and explore the impact of exclusion criteria on participant diversity, length of enrollment, and the number of enrolled participants. A detailed search was performed using PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov. Nineteen published randomized controlled trials were included, where 2,664 patients were screened, and 2,234 patients (mean age: 37.6 years, 56.6% female) were enrolled from 25 countries. On average, there were 10.1 (standard deviation: 6.14, range: 3-25) exclusion criteria per randomized controlled trial. There was a weak to moderate positive correlation between the number of exclusion criteria and the proportion of enrolled participants (R = 0.49,
