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

Scientometric indicators are useful to evaluate the relevance of scientific research, to prepare rankings, and to evaluate and inform research policies. That is why the choice of appropriate indicators is a matter of primary concern. This article aims to introduce a framework to decide the appropriate type of indicator for assessing the citation-based performance of complex innovation systems. The framework is two-fold: First, it brings the methodology to decide when the use of standard average based indicators is granted, and when scale-invariant indicators are mandatory. Second, it provides the procedures to build scale-invariant indicators to assess the relative impact of complex innovation systems. The framework is validated empirically through the evaluation of the relative impact of the Chilean science system in 2017. The result suggests that the Chilean science system has characteristics of a complex innovation system such as the distribution of citations fits to a power law with an exponential cutoff
