Vital pulp therapy: A bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles from 1966 to 2022.
Review in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2024. 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
Introduction: Vital pulp therapy (VPT) aims to preserve dental pulp after injury and has gained significant popularity due to advancements in materials and understanding of pulp biology. While bibliometric analyses are common in various fields, none have been conducted specifically for the 100 most-cited articles on VPT. Materials and Methods: This bibliometric study analyzed the 100 most-cited VPT papers using data from Web of Science (WoS-CC), Scopus, and Google Scholar. Articles were manually reviewed to extract key bibliometric data, including titles, citation counts, citation density, authorship, country of origin, publication year, journal, study design, and VPT type. Results: The articles collectively received 19,782 citations, with the oldest from 1966 and the most recent from 2019, having 803 and 104 citations, respectively. Key journals included the Conclusion: This analysis provides a comprehensive list of the top 100 cited VPT articles, offering valuable insights for researchers, students, and clinicians. The study highlights key trends and influential contributions in the field of VPT research.
