Knowledge Production and Transfer in the Iranian Oral Health Research Centers: Based on Research Evaluation from 2019 to 2021.
Article in Frontiers in dentistry, 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
Due to the global burden of oral diseases, knowledge production and transfer are essential for clinical practice and policy. This descriptive study assessed 28 Iranian Oral Health Research Centers (OHRCs) from 13 medical universities (2019-2021), using indicators like research output, high-quality publications, international collaboration, citations, and H-index for production, and Altmetrics for transfer. Over three years, these centers published 4,428 articles in indexed databases, with approximately 20% (883 articles) appearing in first-quartile (Q1) journals. More than 16% of publications involved international co-authorship. In knowledge production, the Dental Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences ranked first, followed by the Dental and Periodontal Research Center of Tabriz and the Dental Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University. For knowledge transfer, the Dental Materials Research Center of Babol ranked first, followed by Mashhad's center. The findings demonstrate substantial scientific productivity among Iranian OHRCs, with notable variation in research performance across institutions.
