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

introductionQuality of life (QoL) greatly influences the outcomes of patients with mental illnesses and there is evidence that there is an association between QoL and the relapse of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). However, no reviews elucidate the relationship between QoL and the relapse of OUD. This document provides a scoping review protocol that aims to systematically chart and synthesise the published, unpublished and grey literature about the relationship between QoL and relapse of OUD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The enhanced six-stage methodological framework for scoping reviews of Arksey and O'Malley will be used. The main research question guiding the review will be: What is the relationship between QoL and relapse of OUD? Peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed articles, reports, and policy documents will be eligible to be included in the review with no limits on publication date. PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, Scopus, OVID and Cochrane Library will be among the databases searched. We shall identify grey literature from Google Scholar, ProQuest database, Grey Source Index, Open Grey and OpenDOAR. The reporting of the review will follow the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. Criteria for evidence inclusion and exclusion will be used during literature screening and mapping. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Patients and the public will not be involved in the interpretations of the findings, therefore, we shall not seek approval from an ethics committee. Results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal, conference presentations.
