Scholarly trends in global orthopedics research published through the journal of orthopaedics: A bibliometric analysis from 2013 to 2024.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics, 2025. 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 and aims: We provide an overview and data visualization trends of orthopaedic research published by the Journal of Orthopedics (JOO) from 2013 to 2024. Methods: We used Scopus database to retrieve all articles published by the JOO from 2013 to 2024, as of 15.7.2024. Bibliometric analysis and visualization of the global orthopaedic literature were performed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer software to explore the research hotspots in this field in the past 12 years. Results: The 2074 publications covered in the JOO published between 2013 and 2024 were identified. The annual average and six-year cumulative publications depicted growth rates of 36.23 % and 147.99 %, respectively. Of the 80 global publications, the main participating countries were from Europe (n = 26), and Asia (n = 13). North America (37.37 %), Europe (34.89 %) and Asia (30.42 %) contributed a significant share of journal output. The most contributing countries were the USA, followed by the U.K., India, and Japan. The visualization and analysis of topical research trends reveal that the JOO covers almost the entire spectrum of orthopaedic research, with the most focus on the Knee (26.38 %), Hip (21.53 %), Shoulder (8.79 %) and Spine (7.09 %) and its subfields, such as arthroplasty (882 papers), surgery (192 papers), radiography (177 papers), osteoarthritis (166), pain (135 papers), fractures (133) and arthroscopy (70). The 68 (3.32 %) of the 2047 publications received 30 and above citations and together received 3466 citations, constituting 51.73 % share of total citations. The Hospital for Special Surgery (USA), and Singapore General Hospital were the most productive organizations, while the most impactful organizations were the University of Toledo Medical Center (USA), and Università degli Studi di Messina (Italy). The most productive authors were R. Vaishya (India), and J.A. Dubin (USA), whereas V. Filardi (Italy) and J.M. Newman (USA) were the most impactful authors of the JOO. Conclusion: The JOO is a destination for global orthopaedic research. It has progressively received an increasing number of manuscripts and depicted high annual average publication growth rates, besides witnessing an increase in the significant number of citations received. It has helped to improve the journal's ranking, impact and reputation.
