IntroductionCitation analysis is a standard tool for measuring the impact and influence of scientific work. One purpose behind controlled trials is to answer clinical and policy questions and to contribute directly or indirectly (contributing to systematic review and meta-analyses) to the production of practice guidance. The citation of trials within systematic reviews and policy or guidance documents therefore represents an authentic and meaningful measure of impact.MethodsAll 136 randomized controlled trials published by the United Kingdom (UK) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme in a 10-year period (2006-2015) were identified. Web of Science citation index was used to collect citation data relating to each trial. Altmetrics were used to identify additional policy and guidance documents. Citation data were collected and tabulated, and descriptive statistics produced. Additional data were collected for principal ‘spin-off’ publications.ResultsEighty-eight percent of trials were cited by at least one Cochrane or non-Cochrane systematic review or meta-analysis; 37 percent by at least one Cochrane review (90 Cochrane reviews in total); 85 percent by at least one non-Cochrane systematic review or meta-analysis (365 in total). Forty-four percent of trials were cited by at least one unique piece of published policy or guidance. Mean number of review citations per published trial: 25.30; mean number of systematic reviews/meta-analyses per trial: 3.34; mean number of guidance documents per trial: 0.85. Trial investigators published the primary clinical outcome data in 27 additional peer-reviewed journal articles, generating citations in a further 66 unique reviews and 22 unique guidance documents.ConclusionsBased on the payback model, this sample of 136 UK HTA trials represent meaningful impact: 88 percent of trials were cited in systematic reviews and 44 percent in guidance documents. Chronological data indicate that there might be a sizeable time-lag between publication and impact, especially for policy documents and Cochrane reviews.

Performance characteristics across a number of cycle sports have been investigated for decades. However, evidence suggests little is known about the performance characteristics in BMX cycling. As a result, a scoping review was undertaken to explore the quantity and themes of research in this area. After adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRIMSA) guidelines 104 studies were identified in the initial search and post screening 17 studies were identified as relevant. These studies were categorised into two sub categories; physical and technical characteristics. The first category, physical performance characteristics included ten studies that analysed torque, cadence, and peak power in relation to velocity and time to peak power. The remaining 7 studies related to technical attributes and focused on the development of an effective gate start technique or analysed techniques deemed important during a BMX race. In addition to the categories, 9 of the 17 studies identified in this review reported reliability issues in collecting performance characteristic data, as well as issues surrounding transference of data from the laboratory to the BMX track. Future research should consider intervention studies examining how time to peak power could be developed and the effect this would have on the start of a BMX race. Future studies may also consider using equipment with higher levels of reliability and testing riders in the track environment. Moreover, this scoping review could serve as a starting point for a systematic review.

Livability is the “right” to live where all citizens can enjoy adequate housing, health care, educational opportunities, consumption, and leisure. This definition can be used as a tool to measure an area’s standard of living conditions and protect the residents’ rights to a standard of living. Therefore, a systematic review of indicators for measuring livability is essential. In this study, urban livability indicators were derived by the “Scoping Review” method. Based on the guidelines of JBI and PRISMA-ScR, research institutes that provide guidelines related to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 20 articles were extracted from 1,193 articles published between 2000 and 2021. Results of the study show that, first, multi-dimensional indicators were used to measure urban livability. Second, the derived indicators for each dimension were linked or frequently intersected. Third, a conceptual framework of urban livability indicators was presented. This study is unique in that it attempted a a scoping review of urban livability indicators research and derived indicators according to spatial scale and time step.

Abstract. Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF) refers to a global IQ ranging from 71 to 84, and it represents a condition of clinical attention for its association with other disorders and its influence on the outcomes of treatments and, in general, quality of life and adaptation. Furthermore, its definition has changed over time causing a relevant clinical impact. For this reason, a systematic review of the literature on this topic can promote an understanding of what has been studied, and can differentiate what is currently attributable to BIF from that which cannot be associated with this kind of intellectual functioning. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, we have conducted a review of the literature about BIF. The results suggest that this condition is still associated with mental retardation, and only a few studies have focused specifically on this condition.
