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: Furcation involvement is a condition characterized by unpleasant odors originating from the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics and research trends of furcation involvement. Materials and methods: All the papers on furcation involvement were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database. The years of publication were divided into before 2010 and after 2010 in the analysis of research trends. Results: There were 1537 papers on furcation involvement, with total citations of 47,246 and the Conclusion: This scientometric study for the first time elucidated the current scenario and research trends of furcation involvement, particularly the comprehensive identification and recognition of the important research topics concerned.
