The 100 Most-Cited Articles in the Field of Colorectal Diseases from 1955 to 2020: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe number of times that an article is cited could reflect its impact. This study aims to recognize and analyze the characteristics of the most frequently cited articles in the field of colorectal diseases.
methodsWe identified the 100 most-cited articles using the terms "colorectal," "colon," "rectal," "IBD," "ulcerative colitis," "Crohn's disease," or "colonoscopy" in Web of Science. The articles were analyzed to evaluate the characteristics, including the number of citations, country of origin, the institution of origin based on the first author's affiliation, study type, and others.
resultsOf the top-cited publications, the number of citations ranged from 1575 to 9283, with a mean of 2504.11 citations. The journal with the greatest number of most-cited articles was the New England Journal of Medicine (n = 23), followed by Science (n = 14) and Nature (n = 12). These papers were published in 14 different countries, of which more than half were from the United States (n = 60). The most popular field was colorectal cancer (n = 45), followed by colon tumors (n = 21). Most of the papers were basic science studies (n = 43) and randomized controlled trials (n = 30). Regarding the level of evidence, there were 5 studies at level I, 29 at level II, and 5, 1, and 15 studies at levels III, IV, and V, respectively.
conclusionOur study could provide a historical perspective on scientific progress in the field of colorectal diseases. These 100 mostcited articles are of great significance for helping researchers understand this field over time.
