Knowledge structure and research hotspots on digital scanning for implant-supported complete-arch prosthesis: A bibliometric analysis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Digital scanning is increasingly widely used for implant-supported complete-arch prosthese. However, a quantitative literature analysis is lacking for this field. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize the knowledge structure and research hotspots of digital scanning for implant-supported complete-arch prosthesis. Materials and methods: Relevant articles and reviews, published between 1994 and 2023, were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Indicators such as publication count, annual growth, citation count, co-citation count, impact factor, Journal citation reports (JCR) division, H-index are used to assess the contribution of countries, journals, authors or the quality of articles. Visual maps, cluster analysis and keyword cloud are used to evaluate the cooperation pattern and topic trends. Results: 580 eligible publications, including 555 articles and 25 reviews, were analyzed. The United States is the leading country in this area, received the most citations. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry is the scientific journal with the highest impact. The analysis of keywords and ongoing trials shows that the accuracy of relevant techniques is a current hot topic in this field. Conclusion: In recent years, digital scanning technique for implant-supported complete-arch prosthesis has made rapid progress. By reviewing the published literature, we found the United States is the global leader in the field of digital scanning for complete-arch implant prosthesis. Accuracy is the core word in this field, more scientific evidence is needed to support the clinical application of digital scanning in this field.
