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

Objectives: This study set out to comprehensively analyze and compare the scientific impact, productivity, and collaboration networks of seven ophthalmology journals published in Türkiye, using the Dimensions, Tübitak/Ulakbim and SCImago databases. Methods: The study examined various bibliometric indicators, including publication count, citation count, percentage of cited publications, self-citation ratio, field citation ratio (FCR), and relative citation ratio (RCR). In addition, the collaboration networks for each journal were analyzed in terms of the number of authors, co-authorship links, total co-authorships, and the number of co-authorship clusters. The scientific impact and academic prestige of the journals were assessed using the SCImago Journal Rank Indicator, Q Journal Classification, and H-index. Results: The Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology (TJO) outperformed the other journals across various metrics, including publication count, citation count, percentage of cited articles, and impact factors. The Beyoglu Eye Journal exhibited the second best performance. The TJO also exhibited the most extensive collaboration network and the highest FCR and RCR values, indicating its strong academic impact. Conclusion: The TJO is the leading ophthalmology journal in Türkiye, while Beyoglu Eye Journal demonstrates the second-best performance, both exhibiting high publication counts, citation metrics, and field-normalized indicators. Other Turkish ophthalmology journals demonstrate lower levels of academic impact, indicating that coordinated efforts are required to enhance their quality, visibility, and global recognition.
