Uterus transplantation: A bibliometric review of six-decade study from 1960 to 2024.
Review in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 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
introductionSome women are unable to become pregnant because they do not have a functional uterus. Over the last decade, it has become possible for these women to get pregnant through uterus transplantation, which has been the subject of numerous research studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review published articles in the uterus transplantation area. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional bibliometric review to study the 100 highly cited papers in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 1960 to 2024. Our research applied bibliometric analysis to these top 100 highly cited papers. Document citation and co-occurrence analysis were used for the data study. VOSviewer along with Bibliometrix® software was used to design the maps.
resultsThe trend of uterus transplantation publications increased exponentially after 2010. Sweden is the leading country, followed by the USA and Spain. Fertility and Sterility, Lancet, American Journal of Transplantation, and Human Reproduction were the highly cited journals. Collaboration among countries showed that the most collaboration took place between Sweden and Spain (18), Sweden and the USA (14), the USA and Spain (8), Sweden and Australia (6), and the USA and the United Kingdom (6). Furthermore, the results found that more than one-third of the highly cited papers were review papers (39%) and 27% were clinical trial studies.
conclusionsThis bibliometric review provides a valuable contribution to the literature on uterine transplantation by synthesizing and analyzing existing research findings. It offers insights into current trends, key themes, geographic distribution, and potential areas for future research within this rapidly evolving field.
