A bibliometric analysis of sarcopenia: top 100 articles.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the emergence and development of sarcopenia research and guide to most cited articles for researchers.
methodsThomson Reuters' Web of Science database was used to search for all articles related to the term 'sarcopenia'. We also benefited from PubMed to find additional data about these articles. We analyzed the top 100 cited articles (T100) by topic, types of research methods, keywords, journal, author, year, institution, and average number of citations per year, as well. Correlations were also made between the total number of citations, the average number of citations per year (ACpY), impact factors, and the time period of publication.
resultsThe median number of citations for the most cited articles was 309 (range is from 213 to 4,082). The most investigated topics of sarcopenia were definition-diagnosis (n = 35), prognosis (n = 19), and treatment-recommendation (n = 11). The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) consensus definition published in 2010 had the highest total number of citations and ACpY. The most common types of research method, country, year, and keyword were epidemiological studies (n = 55), USA (n = 69), 2010 (n = 13), and sarcopenia (n = 39), respectively. No correlation exists between impact factor (IF) and number of citations or IF and ACpY.
conclusionDespite some flaws, this study identifies the most significant contributions to sarcopenia research and reveals many important scientific breakthroughs and landmarks that took place over the years.
