A bibliometric analysis on drilling of composite materials using a systematic approach.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The increasing use of composite materials across various industries necessitates a detailed understanding of the machining processes involved in their production. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis focused on the drilling of composite materials, aiming to identify key trends, advancements, and research gaps in this critical area. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic approach to mapping the intellectual landscape surrounding drilling processes, particularly emphasizing underexplored topics such as hybrid composites and alternative drilling techniques like laser and ultrasonic methods. An analysis of 927 relevant publications using the Scopus database and VOSviewer software revealed significant insights into the concentration of research on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), while highlighting a lack of focus on sustainable drilling practices and real-time defect detection methods. The results suggest that while optimization of traditional drilling parameters is well-covered, there is a pressing need for future research on tool wear mechanisms and environmentally friendly drilling approaches. These findings provide valuable guidance for improving the efficiency, precision, and sustainability of drilling processes, thereby enhancing the industrial application of composite materials.
