Cross-sectional study of citations from Brazilian Vascular Journal and Brazilian authors between the years 2016-2024.
Article in Jornal vascular brasileiro, 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
Background: Although the overall volume of Brazilian scientific research has increased over the past decades, for years there has been a noticeable lack of prestige attributed to national publications in favor of foreign journals. This dynamic has limited their influence and the development of Brazilian lines of research. Objectives: To analyze the references used by the Brazilian Vascular Journal (BVJ), in relation to its own journal of origin, in order to identify the representativeness and relevance of national journals. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, examining 13,633 bibliographic references cited in 582 articles from the BVJ, published between 2016 and 2024 and indexed in PubMed. The references were extracted and organized in a Microsoft Excel Results: A total of 1,300 (9.5%) citations of articles from Brazilian journals were identified in the BVJ. The BVJ was the most frequently cited national journal, with 613 references (4.5%). It was observed that 189 (32%) of the articles analyzed did not include any national reference. The percentage of self-citations was 8%, showing a downward trend over time. Conclusions: The low number of citations is consistent with what has been previously described in the national literature, which has warned of the same issue for 30 years. The decreasing percentage of self-citations may suggest greater diversity of sources used over the years. These findings highlight a culture of disregard for national journals, which hinders original research and compromises the development of research lines focused on the Brazilian population.
