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

Adhesions are the most common complication of abdominal or pelvic surgery and remain a challenging problem. To better understand the development tendency of abdominal adhesions, we performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the field of abdominal adhesions. In total, 2219 articles regarding abdominal adhesions were screened and analyzed from 3410 manuscripts indexed in the Web of Science-indexed manuscripts regarding abdominal adhesion from 2004 to 2023. A bibliometric analysis was performed, and CiteSpace [version 6.2. R3 (64-bit)] and VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) were used to visualize the results. The number of annual publications showed slight growth before 2019, and the USA contributed the most publications. The most prolific author in this domain was Diamond, while the publications from Ten Broek had the strongest influence. The most popular journal in this field was the
