Bibliometric and Correlation Analysis of Bariatric Surgery Researches in Asia-Pacific from 2000 to 2021.
Article in Obesity facts, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
introductionBariatric surgery has grown in popularity over the past two decades, especially in the Asia-Pacific. Correspondingly, researchers' interest in this field has also increased. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications from Asia-Pacific represented by the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Asia-Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC) and investigate the relevant factors that might affect the publications.
methodsThe search terms for bariatric surgery were searched in Web of Science focusing on the period 2000-2021. Bibliometric analysis was performed after screening the search results. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed on the number of publications and corresponding indicators obtained from official agencies.
resultsA total of 9,547 publications in IFSO-APC were retrieved, of which China had the largest number with 2,782 publications. Authors and journals with major contributions were listed. The authors' or affiliations' cooperation networks mainly were limited to domestic. "Bariatric surgery" was the most frequent keyword with 2,063 times and also the largest cluster. "Morbid obesity" was the strongest citation bursts. Multivariate analysis found that the number of publications in each country/region was associated with body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, gross domestic product, and total population.
conclusionGenerally, Asia-Pacific represented by IFSO-APC scientific publications on bariatric surgery has grown significantly in the last two decades, but cooperation between countries/regions should be strengthened. "Morbid obesity" is the focus and frontier of research in this field.
