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: Bibliometric analysis is a useful tool for measuring the scholarly impact of a topic. To date, there is no such review analyzing the characteristics and trends of publications focused on revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). The purpose of this study is to use bibliometric analysis to comprehensively analyze the 50 most cited articles in rTHA research. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that used the ISI Web of Knowledge database to identify articles published before September 2021. Articles were sorted in descending order by number of citations and those with a focus of rTHA were identified. Of these, the top 50 most cited articles were carried forward for evaluation. Results: The 2000s (50%) and the 1990s (32%) had the greatest volume of contribution. 9 of the top 10 most cited articles were published in the 2000s. The highest impact article had 4702 citations. The level of evidence (LOE) published with the greatest frequency was LOE II (40%) followed by LOE III and LOE IV both recording 24%. Conclusion: The most impactful articles focusing on rTHA research were comprehensively and objectively analyzed. The most common article type was clinical outcomes (46%) followed by natural history/epidemiology (24%) and surgical technique (16%). While this topic is highly studied with significant level of evidence to support the studies, there is a lack of influential research regarding imaging and clinical guidelines. This analysis can be used by researchers to develop further discussions and build research questions.
