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

One year on from the launch of our new open access (OA) journal, IJTLD OPEN, we review its impact. Similar to our flagship journal, the IJTLD, articles published in IJTLD OPEN span a range of topics related to lung health and the majority focus on TB in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs). Interestingly, there has been no lag period in readers accessing the content, with downloads for IJTLD OPEN soon matching and exceeding those for the IJTLD. This demonstrates that OA is helping us to achieve our goal of improving knowledge dissemination in LMICs, where there is restricted access to subscription journals. Citation analysis of the first few issues of IJTLD OPEN also suggests that this higher level of downloads is leading to articles being cited at an accelerated rate.
