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

The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) hot papers on vaccine research and to provide a summary of the hot spots and development trends in the field. A systematic and comprehensive search for literature on vaccine research was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection, and 81 ESI hot papers were obtained. A total of 81 ESI Hot Papers from 51 journals were identified in the domain of vaccines, of which 93.8% were highly cited. The United States emerged as the predominant nation in the field, contributing to 65.43% of the identified hot papers and 74.19% of the cited hot papers. The institutions with the highest number of hot papers and citations were from the United States and the United Kingdom. The analysis of collaboration networks revealed extensive research partnerships within the United States. A significant proportion of the ESI Hot Papers, amounting to 81.5%, was published in leading journals. The most prevalent keywords included infection, vaccine, and Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVD-19). The analysis provided insights into vaccine research trends, helping clinicians and researchers quickly identify hot information in the field and facilitating vaccine application and development.
