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

Purpose: To identify the 25 most-cited articles on humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions and characterize them based on number of citations, citation density, source journal, year of publication, geographic origin, article type, and level of evidence. Methods: The Science Citation Index Expanded database was queried for all possible publications regarding HAGL lesions. The 25 most-cited articles from 1976 to 2021 relevant to the topic were selected for further analysis. Articles were characterized based on the number of citations, citation density, year of publication, source journal, country of origin, article type, article subtype, and level of evidence. Results: The number of citations for individual articles ranged from 21 to 182 (mean ± standard deviation: 44.72 ± 36.87). Ten countries contributed to the 25 most cited articles, with 14 of the 25 (56%) articles published in the United States. Furthermore, the top 25 cited articles were published in 9 journals, with the majority in Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis provides a list of the 25 most cited articles related to HAGL lesions, providing a reference of impactful articles for medical educators. The lack of high level of evidence "Clinical" studies demonstrates that higher-quality research is needed to establish guidelines for the treatment and management of HAGL lesions. Clinical Relevance: A list of the 25 most-cited articles regarding recurrent glenohumeral instability can serve as a comprehensive reference for practitioners, educators, researchers, and orthopaedic trainees.
