Predicting the number of citations of polycystic kidney disease with 100 top-cited articles since 2010: Bibliometric analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
6 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 6 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
backgroundPolycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder in which the renal tubules become structurally abnormal, resulting in the development and growth of multiple cysts within the kidneys. Numerous studies on PKD have been published in the literature. However, no such articles used medical subject headings (MeSH terms) to predict the number of article citations. This study aimed to predict the number of article citations using 100 top-cited PKD articles (T100PKDs) and dissect the characteristics of influential authors and affiliated counties since 2010.
methodsWe searched the PubMed Central® (PMC) database and downloaded 100PKDs from 2010. Citation analysis was performed to compare the dominant countries and authors using social network analysis (SNA). MeSh terms were analyzed by referring to their citations in articles and used to predict the number of article citations using its correlation coefficients (CC) to examine the prediction effect.
resultsWe observed that the top 3 countries and journals in 100PKDs were the US (65%), Netherlands (7%), France (5%), J Am Soc Nephrol (21%), Clin J Am Soc Nephrol (8%), and N Engl J Med (6%); the most cited article (PMID = 23121377 with 473 citations) was authored by Vicente Torres from the US in 2012; and the most influential MeSH terms were drug therapy (3087.2), genetics (2997.83), and therapeutic use (2760.7). MeSH terms were evident in the prediction power of the number of article citations (CC = 0.37; t = 3.92; P < .01, n = 100).
conclusionsA breakthrough was made by developing a method using MeSH terms to predict the number of article citations based on 100PKDs. MeSH terms are evident in predicting article citations that can be applied to future research, not limited to PKD, as we did in this study.
