A Bibliometric Analysis of the 100 Top-Cited Articles on Vertical Root Fractures.
Review in Cureus, 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 aim of this study was to perform a meticulous analysis and bibliometric evaluation of the top 100 most cited articles in vertical root fractures (VRFs). The bibliometric research method included 100 top-cited articles on VRFs retrieved from the Web of Science database. The key terms "vertical root fracture" OR "vertical root fractures" were used to retrieve the required dataset. The salient bibliometric indicators were analyzed. Microsoft Excel version 16 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA), VOSviewer (v.1.6.10, Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands), and the SPSS Statistics version 20 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) were used for data analysis. The top 100 cited articles on VRFs were published between 1977 and 2022, and these articles were cited with an average of 69 citations. A slight rise (27%) in top-cited articles on VRFs was shown in the first half (1977-1999), but a substantial increase (73%) was recorded in the second half (2000-2022). The Journal of Endodontics published around half of the articles (n = 47). The United States contributed the most cited articles, followed by Brazil and Israel, whereas The Netherlands produced the most influential articles. The top-ranked author (Avaid Tames) and the university (Tel Aviv University) belonged to Israel. The most often occurring keywords were also analyzed to identify potential research subjects. There has been a notable increase in the number of highly cited publications (n = 52) about VRFs within the past 13 years (2010-2022). The United States stands out among the top countries due to its dominant overall research output. In the fields of endodontics, oral surgery, and restorative dentistry, this information would be helpful to researchers, practitioners, and academics.
