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 Aim: Camels play a crucial role in South Asia's cultural, economic, and ecological landscape. This study aimed to conduct a systematic bibliometric analysis of camel research from South Asia. This study sought to provide an overview of the topic's development and current and evolving themes by examining publication patterns, citation metrics, authorship trends, and thematic evolutions. Materials and Methods: The data for this study were obtained from the Scopus database. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix package in R Studio to analyze publication trends, author productivity, collaboration patterns, journal impacts, keyword analyses, institutional contributions, and research outputs from individual countries. Results: The bibliometric analysis of camel research in South Asia identified 1106 documents from 320 sources involving 2443 authors, with an international coauthorship rate of 16.91%. The primary clusters of research topics were camel biology and the veterinary sciences, focusing on the biological and health aspects of camels; camel milk and its products, emphasizing the role of camel milk in human nutrition and health; the genetics and molecular biology of camels; the pathogens and diseases of camels and their control; camel tissues and structures; and the effects of camel products on human health. India and Pakistan are the leading sources of such articles. Trending and evolving topics in camel research in South Asia continue to increase, forming a dynamic landscape. Key themes include growing interest in camel products' nutritional and therapeutic properties, particularly camel milk and bioactive compounds. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of camel products and their bioactive peptides have also gained research attention. The evolution from traditional studies of camel physiology and disease to molecular and genomic research underscores a shift toward a more detailed, mechanistic understanding of camel biology and health. Conclusions: This bibliometric study highlighted the significant growth and diversification of camel research in South Asia over the past decades. The study emphasized the need for continued support and collaboration to gain knowledge of the unique attributes of camels and their regional and global benefits.
