Acupuncture for perimenopausal depression: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

There are no restrictions on the language of publication. The randomized controlled trials of acupuncture (electroacupuncture and manual acupuncture) for perimenopausal depression will be included, and all articles will be screened and collected by 2 reviewers independently. Revman 5.3.5 software will be used for meta-analysis. The specific process will refer to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review.
resultsThe efficacy and safety of acupuncture for perimenopausal depression will be comprehensively assessed from the outcomes, including the effective rate, HAMD score, estrogen level and incidence of adverse events.
conclusionThis systematic review will provide evidence for whether acupuncture can improve perimenopausal depression. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: There is no requirement of ethical approval, and the review will be reported in a peer-reviewed journal.
