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/purposeBibliometric analysis highlights the key topics and studies which have shaped the understanding and management of a concerned disease. Here the top-cited articles on oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) were characterized and analyzed. MATERIALS AND

methodsA comprehensive search was performed and identified in the Scopus database from 1941 to 10 March 2019 for the 100 most-cited articles on OPMD.

resultsThe number of citations of the 100 selected articles varied from 131 to 1422, with a mean of 240.6 citations per article. Molecular markers/targets, chemoprevention, and early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer were the top-3 study topics, and the proportion of the number of the articles on the top-3 topics and that of the number of citations was 47% and 47.7%, respectively. Moreover, 20 (90.9%) of the 22 high-quality articles published in journals with high IF > 9 were the research of top-3 topics. Besides, the most contributing author, Hong WK (n = 11), was from the most contributing institution and country of origin, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (n = 12), United States (n = 41). Systematic reviews (n = 7), randomized controlled trial (n = 5), cohort studies (n = 18) were study designs with higher evidence level, but the large majority (n = 70) were considered lower level.

conclusionThe results of this first citation analysis of the 100 most-cited articles on OPMD provide a historical perspective and key topics, and suggest a troika for the trends of further research and clinical practice in the field of OPMD.
