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

As part of the strategy to safeguard the indexing of the review «La Tunisie Médicale», and the consolidation of its scientific reputation, in Tunisia, the Maghreb and Africa, the new editorial team reported the lessons of a recent bibliometric audit for the management of manuscripts submitted to the journal «La Tunisie Médicale» during the period 2015-2019. During this five-year study, 2376 papers were received by the journal "La Tunisie Médicale", 87% of which came from Tunisia, particularly Cardiology, Pathological Anatomy and Cytology, and Pneumology. If 17% of the manuscripts persisted as «case reports», only 7% were summaries of the literature. During this five-year period, 923 reviewers were mobilized, and the acceptance rate was 32%. Based on this editorial audit and taking into consideration the difficulties of scientific publishing, the plan to safeguard the indexing of our national journal and its resilience should consist of the following measures: 1. Submission development scientific manuscripts, at a rate of 1000 papers per year, by the year 2025; 2. Ensure representation of all health science disciplines on the editorial team; 3. Prioritize the publication of research articles, having a better chance of citation; 4. Enrich the base of readers by more approved reviewers; 5. Establish a didactic reviewing model, centered on the development of authors' skills and their support.
