Trends of publications on primary sarcomas of bone: A bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Introduction: Sarcomas are a large group of malignant mesenchymal tumors. Despite being rare diseases, the disease burden of these malignant tumors on the existing healthcare infrastructure is substantial. Although previous bibliometric studies have analyzed the trends of publications on osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma, no such major analyses encompassing all primary bone sarcomas have been reported hitherto. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, bibliometric study of the published literature on bone sarcoma was performed on the Web of Science (WoS) database (Clarivate analytics) on the March 25, 2024. Only the manuscripts with a focus on primary sarcoma of bone published between 1945 and 2024 and articles in the English language were included. Diverse details regarding the publication trends (such as top authors, journals, countries, etc.) and citation profiles (mean annual citations, H-index, etc.) of the included studies were tabulated. Based on the bibliographic data, keyword, and co-authorship mappings were performed using the VOSviewer. Results: A total of 3541 articles were included in the bibliometric analysis. The top three most-published authors were Hornicek FJ (n = 58), Henery Mankin (n = 53), and Unni K Krishnan (n = 43). The top three institutions publishing research on primary bone sarcoma were Mayo Clinic Hospital, USA (n = 162), Harvard University, USA (n = 146), and Massachusetts General Hospital, USA(n = 116) Conclusion: Based on our bibliometric study, there has been substantial growth in the published research on bone sarcomas over the past 2 decades. Concomitantly, the impact of these publications has also significantly increased across the globe over the past years. A majority of the contributions have originated from the USA, China, and Japan; with a high number of institutions and authors from these nations dominating in terms of the overall quantity of publications and citations on this subject. Our observations highlight the critical need for improved academic communications as well as a robust, international cooperative strategy to meliorate the research outputs on bone sarcoma.
