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

introductionData sharing is being increasingly required by journals and has been heralded as a solution to the 'replication crisis'.

objectives(i) Review data sharing policies of journals publishing the most metabolomics papers associated with open data and (ii) compare these journals' policies to those that publish the most metabolomics papers.

methodsA PubMed search was used to identify metabolomics papers. Metabolomics data repositories were manually searched for linked publications.

resultsJournals that support data sharing are not necessarily those with the most papers associated to open metabolomics data.

conclusionFurther efforts are required to improve data sharing in metabolomics.
