摘要：Background: Many pairwise meta-analyses (MAs) related to therapies of varicose veins have been published, but their reporting and methodological quality remain unclear. The present study was designed to assess the overall quality of pairwise MAs related to therapies of varicose veins. Methods: We will systematically search 4 electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Database, to identify pairwise MAs related to therapies of varicose veins. The search time-span was set from inception to March 2019. The pairwise MAs related to therapies of varicose veins will be included in our overview. The reporting and methodological quality of included MAs will be assessed using preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis and a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews 2, respectively. Meanwhile, we will extract some general characteristics of included MAs, including first author; published year, journal, sample size, number of studies, number of randomized controlled trials and intervention details, and so on. All literatures screening, quality assessment, and data extraction will be independently completed by 2 of all reviewers, and any disagreement will be resolved by discussion. Besides, an increasingly popular method - evidence mapping, will be used to present the whole evidence landscape related to therapies of varicose veins. The assessment results will be presented as percentage and event/total. The Excel 2016 will be used to manage and analyze data. Results: The results of the overview will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Conclusion: This overview will summarize the overall reporting and methodological quality related to therapies of varicose veins.
