Review in Clinical oral investigations, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectiveThe objective of this paper is to analyse the scientific activity of dental sciences over the last 30 years. MATERIALS AND

methodsDental-research output was identified by retrieving all citable dental documents in the Web of Science (WoS) database in the periods 1986-1988, 1996-1998, and 2006-2008. For this, a two-phase search strategy was designed: firstly, output in Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine (DOSM) Journal Citation Reports (JCR) category journals were compiled; secondly, for journal documents of other JCR categories but related to Dentistry (Non-DOSM), an innovative search strategy was designed based on a double criterion, thematic and institutional.

resultsThe results showed that DOSM production increased in absolute but decreased in relative terms over the last 30 years. The JCR categories where dental researchers publish also varied. Surprisingly, the geographic distribution of the production shows a growing concentration of the steadily fewer countries, a previously undescribed phenomenon, while the thematic analysis reveals that this production continued to form four broad thematic areas encompassing the remaining specialties: Dental Materials Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, and General Dentistry.

conclusionsScientific production in dentistry has changed in the past three decades both quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as their geographical distribution despite being structured around the same specialties. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In this study, along with some key messages about the key shifts in publication trends, in terms of subject, where published and by whom, we propose a new methodology which could be useful to professionals as well as researchers, in which the exhaustivity and precision rates for scientific information retrieval improve.
