A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effective Contribution of Indian Periodontists to Global Periodontal Research Advancement

Abstract

Developed nations put a lot of emphasis on scientific research and produce an enormous volume of avantgarde papers in impactful journals. These publications could serve as the foundation for different policies or other designs. The researchers in this study aimed to use a quantitative bibliometric strategy to analyze the development of Indian periodontists' publishing patterns in the PubMed database up to October 31, 2022. Publications that could be accessed through the PubMed database as of the end of October 2022 were included in the bibliometric study. By using certain search terms on the PubMed search engine, studies were found. Dental, periodontal, gingival, gingivitis, periodontal, periodontitis, and dental implants were among the terms used to find this article. To evaluate articles that are specifically about India, a parallel search was conducted with the following phrases together with "India." Selected parameters were examined in all papers, whether they had or lacked abstracts. Seven studies were selected which were in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study. According to the keyword search, India contributes an average of 5.65% of each keyword category to the PubMed database, since the total number of search results on PubMed for the seven keywords we entered was 1,037,584, and the same keywords when searched by adding the keyword "India" to the keyword generated a total of 58,624. Since the beginning of the last decade, India has recorded tremendous growth in all spheres of scientific literature publication, and the field of periodontics is no exception. Through the PubMed database, Indian periodontists have made a significant contribution to world literature, especially over the past 10 years, with the number of publications increasing nearly exponentially with each passing year.

Artificial Intelligence in Biomedicine: Systematic Review

“…Notably, all of these papers either explicitly addressed the impacts of ChatGPT in medicine. Of the remaining 12 reviews, the majority (7 reviews, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]) explored the general healthcare field, with the rest being related to medical education (1 review, [16]) or specialized medical areas such as dentistry [17,18], obstetrics and gynecology [19], dermatology [20], or public health [17] the term 'artificial intelligence' in their titles, 'nr' signifies the number of reviews, '2023' in subscript refers to papers published in 2023, and 'bh' in subscript denotes the number of papers specifically filtered from the biomedical and health fields. In this AI review, multiple subsets of articles were selected for VOSviewer analysis and visua lizati on, with their coun ts rangi ng from sever al thousand to tens of thousands.…”

“…Particularly within community-based studies, unconstrained by large pharmaceutical funding or traditional academic boundaries [27], the use of AI tools like ChatGPT can offer considerable benefits. This systematic review analyzed 12 systematic reviews focusing on the application of ChatGPT in biomedical, clinical, and health-related fields [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Notably, half of these reviews referenced COVID-19 in some capacity: two included COVID-19 in discussion, while another three indirectly examined ChatGPT papers related to the pandemic.…”

“…Review [18] found that ChatGPT could provide accurate responses to queries relating to a range of medical topics including medical examinations, systematic reviews, clinical reasoning, diagnostic imaging, liver diseases, and COVID-19 vaccination. Another review [10] further emphasized ChatGPT's utility in analyzing population-level data on vaccine effectiveness, COVID-19 conspiracy theories, and compulsory vaccination.…”
