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

backgroundA systematic global map on toxigenesis and genomic virulence of Vibrio spp. was analyzed for research progress to identify the emerging research patterns for establishing a database for designing future interventions.

methodThe databases (Web of Science and Scopus) were analyzed with Voxviewer software to map the global scale of Vibrio spp. or virulence toxin/genes publications and standardized using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) strategies.

resultsThe results identified 1162 (Web of Science n = 620, Scopus n = 542), while 314 studies qualified for inclusion and were significantly analyzed on virulence toxin/genes. By co-citation analysis, 4-thematic clusters were developed from 6420 citations and a total reference of 9062. Cluster #1 (pathogenesis & virulence factors) and cluster #4 (host response factors) generated the utmost publications and citations (n = 40, 643) and the least (n = 7, 85) interest by the researcher. Whereas 8-thematic clusters were developed by bibliographic coupling technique analysis, cluster#1 and cluster#8 generated the utmost (n = 78, 1684) and least (n = 7, 81) publications and citations interest by the researcher.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that Vibrio toxigenesis and virulence factors are a complex field requiring an interdisciplinary approach consisting of interconnected perspectives that have important consequences for academics and policymakers.
