Who Gets to Be Read? Factors Affecting Full-Text Access Rates in Periodontology and Implantology Research.
Article in International journal of dental hygiene, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to identify the variables associated with full-text access rates in studies published in Periodontology and Implantology.
methodsA bibliometric analysis was performed by reviewing the 30 top-ranking journals in Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine. Only journals with a number of text accesses were included. Independent variables analysed included publication date, first author's country, open access status, h-index, study design, and thematic focus. Multivariable Poisson regression with robust variance was used.
resultsA total of 3880 studies were included, revealing an access rate (number of views per month) of 83.68 ± 143.62. The journal's impact factor (rate ratio [RR]: 1.09; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.07-1.11) and being in the open access mode (RR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.64-1.94) influenced the access rate. Moreover, studies from America (RR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.02-1.31), Oceania (RR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.23-1.98), and Europe (RR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.33-1.69) had significantly higher access rates than those from Asia. Regarding study designs, randomised clinical trials (RCT) (RR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.47-1.97) and literature reviews (non-systematic reviews [RR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.27-2.14] and systematic reviews [RR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.52-2.08]) exhibited greater access than in vitro/animal studies.
conclusionAccess to articles in Periodontology is significantly linked to study design (RCTs and reviews), open access availability, and higher journal impact factors.
