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

objectiveTo describe the Spanish scientific production of primary care during 2013-2017 and analyze their geographical distribution, impact factor, areas of research and involvement of different institutional sectors.

designObservational study bibliometric.

participantsThe study focused on publications indexed in Medline. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Journal and year of publication, first/last author, workplace and autonomous community. Later, articles were classified according to their content. The impact factor was obtained from the basis of bibliometric analysis Journal Citation Reports.

resultsUsing search criteria, were selected 980 documents. The transiency rate was 78,8%. The highest proportion of articles (43.2%) came from health centers, but we observed an increase of the articles from units or research institutes (14.9% in 2013, 19.1% in 2017). Of the total, 63.3% were classified as "clinical aspects", 19.3% were published in the journal Atención Primaria, 40.6% in foreign journals and 72.4% in journals with impact factor, being this proportion significantly lower (p <0.001) in those coming from health centers (59.6%) or teaching units/management/health services (70.0%) with respect to those originated in research units/institutes (93.1%) or in universities (89.0%). In relation to population (articles/100.000 inhab.), the most productive communities were Cataluña (4.2), Aragón (3.9), e Islas Baleares (3.3).

conclusionsIn primary care publications there is great diversity in both research areas such as in journals where published. Most are from health centers, treat clinical aspects and published in Spanish journals. Differences in the volume of scientific production between regions are observed.
