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

objectiveTo determine the full-text publication rate of abstracts presented at the European Urogynaecological Association (EUGA) and the Junior Obstetrics and Gynecology Society (JOGS) annual scientific meetings in 2022, and to compare variables such as publication format, number of authors, and journal impact factor.

methodsAbstract lists from the 2022 EUGA and JOGS meetings were reviewed. PubMed searches were conducted to identify corresponding full-text publications up to August 2024 inclusive. Matches were determined based on substantial similarities in study title, authorship, and study design. Statistical comparisons were made using χ tests and Mann-Whitney U tests.

resultsA total of 304 abstracts were included (138 EUGA, 166 JOGS), with an overall publication rate of 21.1%. EUGA had a significantly higher publication rate than JOGS (31.9% vs. 12.7%, P < 0.001). Oral presentations were more likely to be published than poster presentations (P < 0.001), with no significant difference in oral presentation publication rates between conferences (50% vs. 40%, P = 0.636). Poster presentations at EUGA had a higher publication rate than JOGS (22.3% vs. 8.9%, P = 0.006). Abstracts were more likely to be published if they had a greater number of authors (P < 0.001). The median journal Impact factor was 2.6, and 50% of published articles were open access.

conclusionInternational and national conferences play a crucial role in disseminating evidence, although just over one-fifth of presented abstracts progress to publication. A higher number of authors was associated with increased publication rates. Notably, oral presentations at both national and international levels were linked to favorable publication outcomes.
