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

This study aimed to analyze scientometric profile of publications on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Haiti, 1923-2022. We conducted a scientometric study based on indexed scientific productions related to NTDs in Haiti. The search syntax in the Scopus database was based on key terms for NTDs recognized by the World Health Organization in 2022, focusing on keywords, titles, and abstracts. VOSviewer 1.6.18 was used to create bibliographic networks according to authorship, country of origin, institution, and descriptors. A total of 281 publications were identified, 87.9% (247/281) original articles, with an increase of 45.1% (127/281, annual average of 12.7 publications) in the last decade (2013-2022) compared to the first half of the analyzed period (1923-1975, annual average of 0.21 publications). The authors with the highest number of publications were: Lammie PJ (n = 51), Eberhard ML (n = 29), and Wallace RM (n = 25). A total of 83 institutions participated in the research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (United States) had the highest proportion of affiliations in the coauthorship versus organizations analysis (n = 86), with authors from 35 countries. Coauthorship by country shows publications between institutions in the Americas (n = 13), Europe (n = 9), and Asia (n = 5). The analysis of cooccurrence versus author keywords shows higher occurrence of the terms "dengue" and "rabies". There is a very limited number of publications on NTDs in Haiti throughout a century of publications, despite the relative increase in recent decades. Such publications are concentrated among foreign authors, with limited national coauthorship.
