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

Background/purpose: Natural products derived from herbal medicine have been extensively researched in the alternative treatment of oral cancer prevention. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics of herbal medicine in oral cancer prevention with emphasis on the identification of the herbaceous agents. Materials and methods: All the articles on herbal medicine in oral cancer prevention were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database. The common herbaceous agents for oral cancer prevention were identified from the top-100 most-cited articles. Results: A total of 759 articles on herbal medicine in oral cancer prevention were retrieved. The total citation count was 17,958 and the Conclusion: This study for the first time elucidates the scientometric characteristics of all the articles on herbal medicine in oral cancer prevention, and may provide new insights for researchers to comprehend the identification of the herbaceous agents for the prevention of the disease.
