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

objectivesIn this bibliometric analysis, various parameters such as leading journals, universities, countries, authors and keywords related to the use of ultrasonography (USG) in dentistry were analysed with the help of bibliometric mapping, aiming to help researchers evaluate scientific results on this subject and design future research.

methodsIn this bibliometric analysis, using the Web of Science (WoS) database various factors such as publication date, number of citations, publication language, journals published, countries, and keywords of articles covering research on the use of USG in dentistry between 1981 and 2024 were examined.

resultsIt has been determined that the number of articles and citations regarding the use of USG in dentistry is increasing day by day. While 6 articles were published in this field in 2000, 94 publications were made in 2023. While 25 citations were made in 2000 for articles published on the use of USG in dentistry, this number reached 2334 in 2023. The country with the most publications in this field was the USA, and the journal with the most publications was Dentomaxillofacial Radiology.

conclusionThe findings of this current analysis may help researchers categorize scientific conclusions regarding the use of USG in dentistry and thus select issues to examine when designing future research.
