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

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the conversion rate of conference abstract presentation to full manuscript among obstetrics and gynecology subspecialty society meetings.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 2019 meeting supplements from four subspecialty societies: 1) the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), 2) the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS), 3) the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO), and 4) the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM). All abstracts that were not subsequently withdrawn were included and queried on PubMed using a multimodal method that incorporated abstract keywords and the names of the first and last author to determine publication status. An abstract was classified as a published manuscript if the first author of the meeting abstract was credited in the final publication. The primary outcome was overall publication status. Secondary outcomes included subdivided oral and poster abstract publication conversion, publication journal type, manuscript journal impact factor, time to publication, and additional presentation metrics.

resultsAmong the 3,425 total conference abstracts presented in 2019, the overall oral and poster abstract publication rate for all societies combined was 39.7% (subspecialty range, 33.1-47.5%). For only oral abstracts, 61.0% (subspecialty range, 50.7-78.6%) were published and, for only poster abstracts, 35.4% (subspecialty range 27.1-45.4%) were published. When comparing among subspecialty societies, there were significant differences in rates of oral abstract conversion, with ASRM at 50.7%, AUGS at 64.9%, SGO at 78.6%, and SMFM at 74.5% (

conclusionOur contemporary evaluation of women's health research dissemination shows that a significant portion of research presented at obstetrics and gynecology subspecialty conferences remains unpublished, even after 5 years.
