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

We present a multidimensional dataset describing the research productivity of 21st-century Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine from 2000 to 2023, focusing on their publications, patents, retractions, and funding before receiving the Nobel Prize. Examining the research outputs of eminent scientists offers a valuable resource for understanding patterns of productivity and collaboration that may have contributed to impactful scientific advancements. This dataset was created by conducting automated and manual searches of the internet using a variety of publicly available sources, including but not limited to the nobelprize.org website, PubMed, university web and profile pages, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the NIH RePORTER database, Retraction Watch, and Clarivate. Each entry was meticulously matched to the laureate by cross-checking the above sources, collaborators, content, and production dates. Our unique dataset comprises 12,943 publications, 940 US patents, 17 retractions, and 2,094 peer-reviewed NIH awards produced before winning the Nobel Prize. The data provide multiple descriptors for practical purposes such as research productivity comparisons, national grant program design, or research policy development.
