A scientometric update of the evolution of national scientific production in dental educators in Peru according to gender disparity.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundGender disparity in dental research refers to the differences in the participation and representation of men and women in scientific production in dentistry. Studies have shown that although female participation has increased, inequalities in leadership and recognition persist. The study conducted a bibliometric analysis of trends in Peruvian dental scientific production based on gender disparity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive and observational study examines published literature between 2019 and 2024. Studies were included if they were published in the dentistry field while affiliated with Peruvian institutions during the aforementioned period. Studies were excluded if they could not be exported to SciVal. Studies from unlicensed Peruvian universities and their authors were also excluded. The data were exported from the Scopus database to SciVal to analyze four scientometric criteria: number of publications, citations per paper, citation impact, and international collaboration. Then a further bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Bibliometrix package.
resultsThe findings indicated that scientific production increased by 11.1% each year with noted contributions to the research by male and female authors, although male authors published at a higher frequency than women. The leading institutions were Universidad Científica del Sur and Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Thematic trends demonstrated that there were emerging topics trending including COVID-19 and oral health.
conclusionThese results highlight the need to improve collaboration and international work to have substantial quality and impact in research production in dentistry in Peru. The gender disparity issue must also be communicated so that the network of female researchers feels supported to publish in this area and that the representation in the dental research field becomes more balanced.
