Exploring the frontiers of sustainable livelihoods research within grassland ecosystem: A scientometric analysis.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Grassland degradation has become a global social-ecological problem, which seriously limits the sustainability of indigenous people's livelihoods. Bibliometrics, a type of analysis based on the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E), was therefore performed to explore the research trends and focus areas of studies on sustainable livelihoods (SLs). We conducted an in-depth analysis of 489 research publications and their 25,144 references from 1991 to 2020. The results show that only few papers have been published, but the number of countries and research institutions involved shows an overall imbalance. We identified eight main clusters based on keyword co-occurrence, these being studies the content of which is an important representation of current research directions in this topic. The document co-citation analysis revealed 10 research clusters, representing the frontiers of research. Clusters included the following topics: NPP (Net Primary Productivity) dynamics, global change, ecological restoration, risk indicators, livelihood strategies, smallholder systems, drought relief, sustainable land management and common pool resources. We reviewed and interpreted these clusters in depth with a view to provide an up-to-date account of the dynamics of this research. As the first scientometric evaluation of research on sustainable livelihoods in grassland ecosystems, this study provides several theoretical and practical implications for global poverty eradication research, which are of great scientific value for global sustainable development.
