Scientometrics Analysis of Iranian Orthopedics Academic Departments.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundScientometrics is one of the bibliometrics subsets aiming to study the status of scientific development of scientific and research institutes. This study aimed to investigate the scientific status of orthopedic departments in different universities of Iran using the national scientometrics system of the Ministry of Health in Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional study investigated the researchers and orthopedic departments in different universities of Iran based on the data from the scientometrics system of the Ministry of Health in Iran until the beginning of 2021. All researchers and publications related to orthopedics, as well as the relationship of these researchers, have been studied part-time and full-time. The number of publications, indexing level, academic degree, and academic position has been also registered and examined through the scientometrics system.
resultsThis study included 280 researchers from different universities in Iran. The mean number of the published articles was 20.6±19.8. The highest number of faculty members were from Iran (n=27; 9.64%), Shahid Beheshti (n=26; 9.28%), Tehran (n=25; 9.28%), as well as Mashhad and Shiraz Universities of Medical Sciences (n=18; 6.42%) in descending order. The overall mean values of the H- and G-index were determined at 5.85±2.7 and 9.3±4.2, respectively. Furthermore, the number of citations per published article was obtained at 6.7±1.3. It should be mentioned that Mashhad University of Medical Sciences obtained the highest H-index (9.6) and G-index (10.6), respectively.
conclusionThe scientific productions and publications of the Iranian orthopedic academic institutions were similar to those of the international scientific institutes in terms of H-index and number of citations per published article. It is worth mentioning that Mashhad University of Medical Sciences was the leader in this regard.
