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

Background: Schizophrenia research has significantly grown in the past years. However, there is no comprehensive evaluation of schizophrenia research publications from Southeast Asia (SEA). Thus, this study determined the characteristics and trends of published articles about schizophrenia in SEA through a bibliometric analysis. Methods: A database search on schizophrenia research in SEA countries was performed using the Scopus databases from 1973 to 2021. Bibliometric information was obtained from Scopus, and network visualization was conducted using VOSviewer software. Results: There were 1068 articles on schizophrenia from SEA from 1973 until 2021. Schizophrenia research outputs from SEA started to increase from 2000 onwards. Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand were the most productive countries in schizophrenia research and had the most collaborations. Most schizophrenia research in SEA was published in Asia- or SEA-based journals. The research hotspots for schizophrenia in SEA included treatment, pathophysiology, symptomatology, and psychological and social aspects of schizophrenia. Lastly, correlation analysis showed that gross domestic product per capita, research and development (R&D) expenditures, number of researchers in R&D, number of physicians, and international research collaborations were significantly correlated with higher research productivity and scientific impact in schizophrenia research. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study showed the trends and gaps for research in SEA and the socioeconomic factors correlated with research productivity for schizophrenia in SEA. This study emphasized increasing financial support and collaborations for schizophrenia research to improve research productivity in schizophrenia in the SEA region.
