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

purposeCoronavirus disease pandemic has impacted global healthcare tremendously and ophthalmology is one of the high-hit specialties. An increasing number of research items are upcoming with COVID-19-related research in ophthalmology and this report aims at performing a scientometric analysis of all the available research pertaining to COVID-19 and ophthalmology.

methodsA Web of Science (https://webofknowledge.com) query TS = ("novel coronavirus 2019" OR "coronavirus 2019" OR "COVID 2019" OR "COVID 19" OR "nCOV" OR "SARS-CoV-2" OR "COVID-19") AND WC = ("Ophthalmology") was deployed on February 22, 2021, to retrieve all research items on the topics of interest. R software (v4.0.1) with Bibliometrix library was deployed to visualize metrics to quantify geographical distribution, source metrics, author metrics, document metrics, and keyword metrics.

resultsA total of 616 research items appeared in our search results that were drafted by 2398 authors and published in 63 sources. India, USA, UK, and China had the greatest number of research items among others. Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, Eye, and Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology were sources with greatest number of research items. Documents per author were 0.257 and authors per document were 3.89. The collaboration index was noted to be 4.28.

conclusionOur scientometric analysis presents descriptive quantitative metrics for COVID-related research in the field of ophthalmology and provides evidence for the increased global collaboration that global researchers have fostered to fight this pandemic.
