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 and Objective: The research question was to conduct a comparative analysis of articles published, citations, grants and authors co-occurence in three journals of Public health dentistry namely Journal of Public Health (JIF-1.821), Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (JIF-3.803) and Community Dentistry Health(JIF-1.079). This study was triggered, because of the constant growth of the academic production of articles in the world. The objective of this study is to describe the design of studies published in the period 2011 - 2020 of the three mentioned journals. Material and Methods: A retrospective, observational, comparative study was conducted for JPHD, CDOE ad CDH. All issues of JPHD, CDH and CDOE from 2011 to 2020 were manual searched and also assessed through Scopus database. The data were organized and analyzed using software SPSS version 21.0; and citation mapping process using VOSviewer software. Results: A total of 1544 articles were retrieved from all the three journals. The largest number of manuscripts was published in the Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology journal. The pattern of study design in JPHD (65.69%) and CDH(74.79%) was majorly cross sectional studies followed by cohort studies(19.46%) and randomized controlled trials (8.34%) respectively. In all the three journals, maximum authors were more than three in number. Majority of the original research work focused on oral health such as oral health status, literacy, oral health quality of life. Conclusion: The publication pattern in all the three journals were interestingly related to each other; most articles published were original research work intending an enhanced inclination of researchers toward observational affirmations.
