Re-analysis of the current status of clinical trial registration in China.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To reanalyze and summarize the current status and deficiencies of clinical trial registration in China, based on an analysis of the situation of clinical trial registration in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR). Methods: A search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM), Wangfang Data, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP), Web of Science (WoS), PubMed up to December 31, 2023, for literature on the analysis of clinical trial registration based on ChiCTR. NoteExpress software was used for screening, EXCEL for data organization and analysis, the Word Cloud website for constructing word frequency maps, and Origin software for visualization. Results: Among the 94 articles included, common analysis items included the number of registered projects, types of research, registration time, types of registration institutions, and regional distribution. Most of the included literature was funded. The publishing institutions involved 20 provinces/municipalities across the country, with hospitals being the majority of the publishing units. Most literature was submitted shortly after search completion and published shortly after submission, with more than half of the articles published in high-quality journals. The total average citation count of the literature was 3.34. The sources of clinical trial registration platforms analyzed in the literature were divided into three categories: single platform, dual platform, and multiple platforms. Conclusion: ChiCTR plays a key role in enhancing transparency in clinical research, promoting standardization and normalization of research, strengthening domestic and international scientific research cooperation, and advancing medical innovation and public health improvement. However, there are still issues with the quality of registration, focus areas, and the evaluation of registration quality.
