Addressing inequities in the otolaryngology academic publishing: A call to action.
Article in Journal of the colleges of medicine of South Africa, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Article processing charges (APCs) for open access (OA) journals perpetuate inequities in scientific knowledge. High APCs systematically restrict low- and middle-income country (LMIC) researchers from contributing to research knowledge, preventing the dissemination of high-value, high-quality, and sustainable LMIC-driven solutions. Otolaryngology journals are no exception. The authors propose solutions to rectify the inequities in academic publishing because of APCs, including innovative solutions adopted by several major journals. Addressing these inequities requires medical society and journal editorial board leadership to ensure equitable APC policies.
