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

Background: In the context of global open science trends, medical open-access repositories (OARs) promote transparency in research and facilitate the sharing of scientific data. The increase in scientific output necessitates a robust infrastructure to enhance OARs in China. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate medical open-access repositories (OARs) in China that are indexed in re3data.org and OpenDOAR.org. The study analyzed data classification, descriptions, retrieval, and the utilization of selected repositories. Methods: This study ascertained the current status of the Chinese medical OARs by visiting their respective websites and attempted to identify the disciplinary orientation of each OAR. A content analysis approach was utilized to achieve this study's objective. Twelve Chinese medical open-access repositories were selected from re3data.org and OpenDOAR.org to examine how their information is organized. The data were collected manually from May 1 to 30, 2023, and analyzed using various quantitative techniques to understand the current status of medical scientific repositories in China. Results: Based on the results, this study proposed the following recommendations: (1) implement multi-dimensional data classification, (2) use persistent data identifiers, (3) formalize the description metadata, (4) enhance advanced retrieval and result set filtering functions, and (5) optimize the preview and interaction features of data repositories. Conclusion: The scope of this study is restricted to the medical open-access repositories in China as listed on re3data.org and OpenDOAR.org. Therefore, the results of this study are only generalizable within China. The primary focus of research output in China is on medical open-access repositories. This study is essential for assessing China's current status in research data management within the medical field and its distribution infrastructure in global open science trends.
