Endocrine research in Bangladesh: Evolution and current trend.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The contribution of Bangladesh to global endocrine research is not quantified. We intend to summarize the progress Bangladesh has made in endocrine research. Methods: Global and country-specific data up to December 2021 from the PubMed database were retrieved using the keywords 'diabetes mellitus', 'obesity', 'thyroid', 'adrenal' and 'pituitary'; the keywords 'gonad' OR 'hypogonadism' OR 'PCOS' OR 'sexual dysfunction' were used for retrieving data of reproductive endocrinology research; and 'bone metabolism' OR 'osteoporosis' OR 'vitamin D' were used for bone metabolism research. Bangladeshi contributions to endocrine research were compared to global and country-specific data during the periods '1972-2021' and '2012-2021'. Results: Bangladesh has 2,467 articles in the PubMed database in different fields of endocrinology during the period 1972-2021, which is 0.132% of the total global endocrine publications published in this timeframe. We observed a gradual increment in the number of Bangladeshi publications over the last five decades in all fields of endocrinology. Over the last 10 years, the contribution has risen to 0.226% with 2003 publications. Conclusions: Currently, Bangladesh contributes very little to global endocrine research. An urgent call to amplify research works by Bangladeshi endocrinologists is of utmost importance to catch up with the global publications in endocrinology.
