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

backgroundThe study aimed to analyze the current trends and spatiotemporal dynamics of research on carrageenan and digestive problems through a bibliometric study from 2019 to 2024. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe literature published on carrageenan and digestive issues from the period of January 2019 until July 2024 was examined using an observational and descriptive approach. The use of a quantitative approach was made in relation to authorship distribution and collaboration, country collaboration, and the evolution of themes. A search of the Scopus database was conducted with different keywords of "Carrageenan" and "Digestive problems." Analysis and visualization of the data were done with the use of SciVal and RStudio software.

resultsBetween 2019 and 2024, a significant increase in publication activity occurred, with associated variations in publication types and pronounced growth in international collaboration. In regard to scientific production, there was an average year-on-year increase of 18.98%, with an average age of the papers of 3.2 years and an average of 15.72 citations per article. A total of 889 authors produced the articles, with an average of 6.71 co-authors per paper and 21.33% international collaborations. Notable institutions producing articles include the Ocean University of China, which produced seven articles, and Jimei University, which produced five articles. The scientific production was highest in China (40), followed by Brazil and Japan, and while most authors contributed a single article, there was a lack of equal scientific productivity accumulated in the articles.

conclusionsThe results highlight both the importance and the need to investigate carrageenan and its impact on digestive issues that might yield exciting avenues of research. The number of publications being produced regarding this foundational aspect of research continues to be relevant. The examination of literature also illustrated the key role of international collaborations and changing research agendas in dealing with the challenges related to digestive problems.
