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

India has experienced dramatic economic growth in the past 2 decades accompanied by a rising burden of noncommunicable diseases, which coexists with the unfinished agenda of undernutrition. Tackling these dual challenges requires strong investment in nutrition research. We compared India's research output with another rapidly developing country (China) and an established developed country (USA). We analyzed trends for each country between the periods 2000 to 2005 and 2006 to 2010, in terms of quantity and quality of the publications. India produced 2,712 articles (1.9% of the global total) in the 2000 to 2005 period and 3,999 articles (2.1%) in the 2006 to 2010 period, and the country impact factor was 191 and 174, respectively. The contributions to the top 10 nutrition journals during 2006 to 2010 was 1%. India must increase investment in and attention towards quality nutrition research and address potential barriers to publish.
