From Heritage to Global Presence: The Case for a PubMed-Indexed Greek Surgical Journal.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Despite Greece's rich surgical heritage and internationally recognized clinicians, the country lacks a PubMed-indexed surgical journal. This gap reflects systemic barriers, including limited funding for academic publishing, the absence of a sustained editorial infrastructure, insufficient English-language output, and low prioritization of journal development in academic policy. Establishing such a platform would enhance Greek surgical research, promote international collaborations, and enhance academic visibility. The creation of a PubMed-indexed Greek surgical journal requires a strategic plan: unification of pre-existing journals, securing institutional and society support, implementing rigorous peer review, publishing in English, and pursuing indexing through MEDLINE and Scopus. A committed editorial board, robust digital presence, and integration into global networks could transform Greece's surgical scholarship from a largely local discourse into a global contributor. Addressing these challenges is essential for ensuring that Greece's surgical voice is heard and recognized internationally.
