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

backgroundOne of the performance criteria of a university hospital is its publication activities. The aim of this bibliometric study was a comparative benchmarking of the publication activities of German orthopedic trauma surgery university hospitals. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe publication performance of the leading groups, consisting of chief and senior physicians, section and division heads of 39 German orthopedic trauma surgery university hospitals, was recorded over a period of 10 years (1 January 2010-31 December 2019). All publications that were listed in PubMed and for which the appropriate persons were first or last author were considered. In addition, the impact factor (IF) was determined.

resultsA total of 4438 publications were recorded published by 381 surgeons. The share of publishing authors was 72.8%. The articles were published in 545 journals. The average IF of all publications was 1.81. The publication activities of hospitals showed a wide range, this applied to both the number of publications and the IF generated by the individual author. The publication activity ranged from an average of 16.4 publications per author in the top-ranked hospital to 1.5 publications in the last-placed hospital. The same result was seen with the total IFs. In the highest ranking hospital according to this criterion the individual surgeon achieved on average of 42.1 cumulative IFs compared with 1.7 IFs in the last placed hospital.

conclusionThe publication performance of German orthopedic trauma surgery university hospitals showed a high variance, as was also found in other disciplines. The causes must remain open, but a different research motivation cannot be ruled out.
