Research trends and hotspots on human papillomavirus: a bibliometric analysis of 100 most-cited articles.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The study aimed to investigate the research trends and hotspots in the field of human papillomavirus (HPV) from the top-cited articles. Methods: The database Web of Science (WOS) was utilized to retrieve articles closely related to HPV, and 100 articles with the most citations were selected. Bibliometric analysis along with visualization tools was applied to analyze citation, publication time, journal, author, geographic distribution, institutional and international cooperation, title, abstract, and keyword co-occurrence cluster. Results: The articles were mainly published from 2003 to 2012 (56%) and most articles were published in 2007 (13 papers). The citations ranged from 506 to 6,426, with a median citation of 798.5. The United States contributed 68% of the papers, and most articles were published in North America and Europe continent. Boash FX, Meijer CLJM, and Munoz N owned most authorship (13 papers). The most highlighted research category was oncology (34%), and the most aggregated topics were epidemiology (34%) and etiology (32%). The emerging trends on subtopics including vaccination, intention, screening, and man, were raising. Conclusions: Emerging trends in epidemiology, etiology, and HPV-related cancers remained central to the field. For decades, the focus of HPV research has shifted from identification to screening and prevention. With the implementation of vaccination, future studies may focus on its practice as well as public intention.
