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

backgroundMore than half of paediatric radiology research presented at annual conference meetings between 2010-2012 remains unpublished. It is unclear if there are any improvements in this statistic despite some initiatives to improve awareness of the importance of evidence-based medicine.

objectivesTo determine the abstract to publication rates (APRs) originating from recent paediatric radiology meetings, trends in research topics and factors associated with publication success. MATERIALS AND

methodsAll PubMed cited articles originating from oral presentations at European Society of Paediatric Radiology, Society for Paediatric Radiology or International Paediatric Radiology conferences between 2013-2016 were evaluated, and compared to those from previously published data from the same conferences dated 2010-2012. Publication rates, study design and topic as well as characteristics of the research group (e.g., author affiliations and number) were evaluated and compared between published and unpublished groups.

resultsThe APR increased to 433/937 (46%) for abstracts presented between 2013-2016, compared to 300/715 (42%) in 2010-2012 (P=0.094). The largest proportion of publications comes from academic and tertiary centres (324/433 [75%]). International collaboration increased to 49/433 (11%) from 18/300 (6%) in 2010-2012 (P=0.018). A greater proportion of work was published within 12 months of conference: 41% in 2013-2016, compared to 29% in 2010-2012 (P=0.02). Paediatric Radiology remained the most popular destination journal, publishing 167/433 (39%) articles.

conclusionThere was a slight increase over time in the proportion of abstracts that resulted in publication, yet more than half of abstracts still do not reach publication status. Further work should identify how radiologists (particularly those outside tertiary and academic centres) can be supported to share their research.
