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

The mapping and analysis of scientific knowledge makes it possible to identify the dynamics and/or growth of a particular field of research or to support strategic decisions related to different research entities, based on bibliometric and/or scientometric indicators. However, with the exponential growth of scientific production, a systematic and data-oriented approach to the analysis of this large set of productions becomes increasingly essential. Thus, in this work, a data-oriented methodology was proposed, combining Data Analysis, Machine Learning and Complex Network Analysis techniques, and Data Version Control (DVC) tool, for the extraction of implicit knowledge in scientific production bases. In addition, the approach was validated through a case study in a COVID-19 manuscripts dataset, which had 199,895 articles published on arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, PubMed and Scopus databases. The results suggest the feasibility of the proposed methodology, indicating the most active countries and the most explored themes in each period of the pandemic. Therefore, this study has the potential to instrument and expand strategic decisions by the scientific community, aiming at extracting knowledge that supports the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
