Bibliometric Analyses of the Research Trends of Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
introduction and hypothesisThe study was aimed at systematically analyzing the research status and trends of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using bibliometrics.
methodsWe retrieved documents published between 1975 and 2022 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database, and manually selected them for bibliometric analyses of country, institution, journal, highly locally cited documents and research trends based on co-citation clustering and keywords using the R Bibliometricx package and CiteSpace software.
resultsA total of 5,703 publications were included. Although the number of annual publications on POP increased, the trend of annual publication reached an obvious plateau in the first half of the 2010s. The USA, China, the UK, the University of Michigan, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Sydney were the top three countries and institutions with the most publications respectively. International Urogynecology Journal, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Obstetrics and Gynecology were the journals with the most extensive academic influence on the field of POP research. The international cooperation was lacking and the highly cited documents focused on high-level, evidence-based studies. Epidemiological studies and surgical treatment have achieved a plateau or decline. Recent studies have focused on conservative treatment, physical therapy, and minimally invasive surgery. In addition to evidence-based medicine studies, tissue engineering is the future direction of POP.
conclusionsThis study used bibliometric analyses to provide insights into the status and potential research directions of POP. More high-quality, evidence-based medicine studies and in-depth tissue engineering research should be propelled forward.
