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

objectiveTo summarize the representative scientific achievements in the past decade, and discuss the future challenges and directions for orthopaedic research in China.

methodsIn this review, we used the data provided by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for analysis.

resultsOver the last decade, NSFC has initiated various research programs with a total funding of over 1149 million RMB to support orthopaedic exploration. Under the strong support of NSFC, great progresses have been made in basic research, talent training, platform construction and the clinical translation in the field of orthopaedics in China.

conclusionIn general, since the establishment of the Department of Health Sciences of NSFC 10 years ago, both the amount of funding and the scale of researchers in the field of orthopaedic research have increased substantially. Despite of several shortcomings in orthopaedic research, with continuous support from NSFC both in funding and in policy, we believe that the orthopaedic research in China will surely make steady and significant progress. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: This article summarizes the representative scientific achievements in the past decade and puts forward the future challenges and directions for orthopaedic research in China.
