A decade of Australian and New Zealand orthopaedic publications: a bibliometric trend analysis from 2008 to 2018.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
purposeWe aimed to apply bibliometric tools to Australian and New Zealand orthopaedic publications produced between 2008 and 2018 to identify the most highly cited publications, author and institution collaboration networks and topic trends. Analysis of the literature can highlight areas of emerging interest and knowledge gaps, and direct future research.
methodsA systematic search was conducted using Clarivate Analytics Web of Science. Citation analysis was carried out using Web of Science. Collaboration networks were constructed using chord diagrams. Trends in publication topics were analysed using simple linear regression to find the rate of change of publication volume on each topic.
resultsA total of 3097 publications contributed to by 8855 individual authors met inclusion criteria. Across the study period, there was a large increase in the annual volume of publications on the topic of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) surgery. We also found that collaboration between Australian and New Zealand authors was very low with only 1% (n = 31) of publications including authors from both countries and 0.4% (n = 12) including orthopaedic surgeons or trainees from both.
conclusionsPublications on ACL surgery have increased over the past decade, likely due to the presence of competing surgical approaches and the recently recognized risk of osteoarthritis following ACL reconstruction. The overall collaboration between Australian and New Zealand authors was very low which lends itself to opportunities for future research.
