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: Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the publication trends and architecture can be useful for guiding future research agendas of both researchers and journals. This study aimed to investigate the bibliometric characteristics of emergency medicine (EM) researches across different journal quartiles. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Scopus database to retrieve published documents from journals in Q1 to Q4 categories (based on Scimago Journal Ranking) from inception to April 2024. The bibliometric analyses were carried out using the Visualization of Similarities viewer (VOSviewer) software. Results: Based on author keywords analysis, we identified 7 (96 nodes), 7 (110 nodes), 6 (89 nodes), and 7 (110 nodes) clusters for Q1 to Q4 categories, respectively. The most frequent author keywords in Q1 to Q4 categories were resuscitation, trauma, COVID-19, and pediatric, respectively. Among the top 10 author keywords in Q1 to Q4 categories, cardiac arrest, disaster, burn, and trauma with average of 19.58, 9.56, 4.92, and 1.61 citations were the most cited topics. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights that main focus of research in EM researches varies across different journal quartiles. The most commonly studied topics in EM journal categories are resuscitation, trauma, COVID-19, and pediatric.
