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

backgroundOver the past few decades, The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (network) has engaged in multiple collaborations with professional organizations. The authors evaluated the impact of a long-standing collaboration between the network and the American Association of Endodontists.

methodsThe authors assessed the impact of articles resulting from research done in the network using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) iCite metrics.

resultsOver the past 3 funding cycles, 7 studies pertaining to endodontics were conducted. These studies have so far resulted in 22 published articles, 1 in press article, and 4 articles under review. The overall mean relative citation ratio for 18 articles for which iCite metrics were available was 1.72, indicating that the articles were cited 72% more often than typical NIH-funded articles after adjusting for field of publication and time since publication. Two articles were cited over the 90th NIH percentile. The mean Approximate Potential to Translate score for the 18 articles was 56.4%.

conclusionsThese results from the network and the American Association of Endodontists showed that national-level collaborations between large organizations can result in impactful research that has immediate clinical relevance in everyday practice. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The network facilitates research conducted in the real world of clinical practice and has positively affected the field of endodontics.
