Bibliometric and clinical trial registry analysis of the University of Split medical research from 1997 to 2022.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
aimTo analyze the most influential publications from researchers in medicine at the University of Split in Croatia, as well as their participation in publicly registered clinical trials, to gain insight into medical research excellence in the second largest university in Croatia.
methodsFor articles published in the top 5% of journals in 47 medical categories in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 1997, when the School of Medicine became an independent University constituent, to 2022, we analyzed the number of articles in different discipline categories, citations to these articles, and geographical and institutional collaborations. From the public registry ClinicalTrials.gov, we collected the information on the number of clinical trials at the University of Split School of Medicine and/or the University Hospital of Split.
resultsAuthors with a UNIST affiliation published 106 articles in the top 5% journals in 29 out of 59 WoSCC journal categories. The annual publication output significantly increased over the years. Over 80% of the articles were the result of collaboration with the global research community, involving 82 different countries. The total number of citations across these articles was 21 171, with a median of 187.4 citations per article. The first registered clinical trial in the ClinicalTrials.gov registry with a location in Split School of Medicine or the University Hospital of Split was in 1993, with a statistically significant increasing trend over the years. These trials represented 20.6% of all registered trials from Croatia.
conclusionThe University of Split has been continually increasing its impact in medical research. Bibliometric analysis should be regularly performed to follow the development of medical research at the University, identify new strategic areas for research excellence, support researchers, and attract new researchers and research teams.
