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: While hundreds of Fulbright awards have been given, little is known about the impact of such engagement despite a goal of increased research partnership and collaboration. Aim: The extent and impact of a Fulbright award was explored by examining referencing of primary collaborative publications. Setting: Seven databases and two alternative sources from 2013 to 2023 were reviewed. Methods: Co-citation analysis identified pairs of referenced articles. Subsequently, a bibliometric approach was used to quantitatively and visually capture and analyse publications using data visualisation software. Results: A search of sources found 773 citations citing the 16 primary works. Following the elimination of duplicates, 273 publications remained. Also examined was the non-scientific downstream noted in social media ( Conclusion: Co-citation analysis and downstream use of publications in social media provided evidence of the impact of a Fulbright award on scholarship with persistence over time. Contributions: Fulbright awards promote collaborative teamwork between disciplines and is of clear benefit to scientists.
