A Bibliometric study of the top 100 most-cited papers in high tibial osteotomy.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established surgical procedure employed to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis by modifying the mechanical axis of the lower limb, thereby reducing the load on the affected joint. It has gained increased attention in recent years, resulting in numerous research advancements in this field. Methods: The top 100 most-cited papers on HTO, published between 1970 and 2023, were identified by searching the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data, including the title, author, keywords, journal, publication year, country, and institution, were extracted. Subsequently, a bibliometric analysis was performed. Results: The 100 papers collectively garnered a total of 15 833 citations, with a median of 122 and an average of 158.33 citations per article. Since the onset of the 21st century, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications and citations. Lobenhoffer authored the most published papers. The majority of papers originated from the USA. Hannover Medical School produced the most papers. Analysis of keywords in the articles revealed several research hotspots, including open-wedge osteotomy, biomechanical study, tibial slope, patellar height, Puddu plate, TomoFix plate, stability, complications, and accuracy. Conclusion: This study offers bibliometric insights into HTO, underscoring that the USA is a prominent leader in this field. HTO has garnered increasing attention since the onset of the 21st century and is expected to remain a significant research area in the future. Concurrently, the authors advise focusing on potential research hotspots, such as the navigation system, to augment the accuracy of the correction.
