1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a potent treatment for degenerative joint disorders. Bilateral total joint arthroplasty (BTJA) encompasses both bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) and bilateral total hip arthroplasty (BTHA). Both BTKA and BTHA can be performed as either a simultaneous procedure or a staged procedure. The goal of this study was to investigate trends in BTJA research, including pertinent authors, journals, countries, and papers. We also evaluated frequent keywords and topics to predict potential future study fields. Methods: Articles published between 1982 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection of Clarivate Analytics. The search query included "hip" OR "knee" (Topic) AND "arthroplasty" OR "replacement" (Topic) AND "bilateral" OR "simultaneous" (Topic) AND 1992-2022 (Year published) AND Article (Document type). Metrics were imported for further analysis with Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. Results: A total of 736 articles associated with BTJA were retrieved, originating from 44 countries with the United States being the biggest contributor. Top institutions were Cornell University and Ewha Womans University. Kim YH was the most productive and impactful author. Conclusions: Since 1982, there has been a growing interest in BTJA research. The United States institutions have been the primary providers in global scholarly production. This bibliometric analysis identified previous, present, and emergent tendencies in BTJA with the goal of forecasting new potential hotspots.
