International Collaboration in Taiwan Emergency Department Publications: A Social Network Analysis.
Article in Journal of acute medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Emergency medicine (EM) is a growing specialty both clinically and academically. Academic EM development can be measured by number of scientific publications. This study aimed to evaluate the academic international cooperation trend of Taiwan emergency departments (EDs) in the past two decades using social network analysis (SNA). Methods: The study population were publications with first author affiliated with Taiwan EDs and the study duration was publication year before 2021. The enrolled publications were categorized into two groups: Group one, all authors were affiliated with Taiwan (domestic publications) and Group two, authors were affiliated with Taiwan and other countries (international publications). The primary outcome measurement was the degree centrality of Taiwan before 2021. The secondary outcome measurements included the trend in annual publication number of Group one and Group two, the trend in country number of each year in Group two, the top five countries that collaborate with Taiwan, the difference between the median of citation numbers in Group one and Group two, and the difference between the median of author numbers in Group one and Group two. Results: A total 4,363 publications were enrolled, of which 4,046 publications were classified in Group one and 317 publications were in Group two. The annual publication number of both groups increased significantly. The annual country number of collaboration with Taiwan ED publications had also significantly increased. The median of citation number and author number in Group two were both significantly higher than Group one. The top five countries collaborating with Taiwan were the United States, China, Malaysia, Japan, and Australia. Conclusions: Taiwan EDs' growing international collaboration in the past two decades indicated a capacity to conduct multi-country research. International collaboration publications obtained higher citations compared to domestic publications. Researchers should enhance international collaborations for academic advancement.
