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/purpose: Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics and research trends of BD. Materials and methods: All the articles on BD were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database. Regional comparison (Turkey versus outside of Turkey) and chronological comparison (before 2010 versus after 2010) were performed. Results: Among the 7023 articles on BD, Turkey was the country publishing most articles (2012 articles). In Turkey, questionnaire, quality of life, depression, and scoring system were distinctive keywords. In outside of Turkey, allele, gene expression, cytokine, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and phenotype were distinctive keywords. The trend of diagnostics mainly angiography before 2010 has changed to computed tomographic angiography, echocardiography, and optical coherence tomography. The trend of biology research has changed to research on metabolism, gene expression, allele, biomarkers, and genetic susceptibility after 2010. The trend of drug aspects mainly oral drug administration before 2010 has changed to drug withdrawal, drug dose reduction, drug safety, drug megadose, adalimumab, thalidomide, and salazosulfapyridine after 2010. Conclusion: This scientometric study elucidated the current scenario and research trends of BD, and would help in improving in reciprocal collaboration and communication for investigations on this disease.
