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

backgroundResearch in Oral Medicine (OM) and Oral Pathology (OP) in Brazil has experienced remarkable growth, gaining international recognition. However, no analysis has evaluated the patterns of evolution of international partnerships and their role in advancing Brazilian research in these areas. This study analyzed collaborations between Brazilian and international researchers in OP/OM. MATERIAL AND

methodsA bibliometric cross-sectional survey was conducted using data from Brazilian researchers in OP/OM, identified through the Brazilian Society of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Pathology. Researchers' curriculum on the Lattes platform were analyzed, and data on publications, citations, co-authorships, affiliations, and journals were collected from the Scopus database, focusing on international collaborations. Bibliometric analyses were performed using the Bibliometrix tool in R Studio and VOSviewer software. Statistical trends between decades were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test.

resultsThe sample included 229 researchers, most females (61.6%), affiliated with public institutions (78.9%), and with a mean time since achieving the PhD of 15.27 years. Almost half of the researchers (43.2%) had postdoctoral training, and among them 43.4% completed it abroad, mainly in the United States (USA), Canada, and the United Kingdom (UK). A total of 2,027 articles were analyzed, revealing a 10.53% annual growth in publications. The number of international collaborations significantly increased over decades (p < 0.001), with USA, UK, India, and Italy being the leading partners. Collaborative publications showed a significant rise in citations (42.61 per paper), mainly in high-impact journals.

conclusionsA steady increase in international collaborations in OP/OM was identified, especially with the USA and the UK. These partnerships have increased citations and publications in high-impact journals, which highlights their benefit and importance for research in these areas.
