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

Introduction: The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in the Indian Subcontinent. We aimed to examine the bibliometric characteristics of the publications arising from the countries of the Indian Subcontinent on NAFLD, over the last two decades. Methods: Publications on NAFLD from Indian Subcontinent during the period of 2001-2022 were retrieved from the Scopus database. Various important bibliometric parameters were studied from the retrieved publications and were exported to MS-Excel for analysis. VOSviewer software was used for analyzing co-author collaborative networks and keyword co-occurrence networks. Results: There is a rising trend of publications, especially in the last decade, with an average annual growth of 28.95% and an absolute growth of 526.21% between 2013 and 2022, compared to 2001-2012. From Indian Subcontinent's authors, 1053 papers were indexed in Scopus, with the majority (81.3%) being from India. Indian Subcontinent holds 13 Conclusion: Despite a high prevalence of NAFLD in Indian Subcontinent, the research output is low and of low impact. Further, the research collaboration between these Indian Subcontinent needs improvement.
