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 and Aims: Bibliometric analysis has been frequently employed for visualizing trends within a particular scientific domain. The pain associated with discogenic origins has a significant impact on one's quality of life, but there is currently a lack of bibliometric analysis in the literature. Hence, this study aimed to examine related research in the field and identify the latest topics that are currently trending by conducting a bibliometric analysis. Methods: The Bibliometrix which developed in the statistical R-packages was used for the data analysis. All related eligible publications were identified, and studies published from 1982 to 2023 were extracted from the Web of Science database. Results: Disc repair, bone marrow cells, platelet-rich plasma, and the activation of inflammatory responses were identified as the trending topics after analyzing 977 journal articles. The most productive and influential journal was SPINE (Phila Pa 1976), which accounted for the largest publications and highest Conclusion: This study performed the first bibliometric analysis on discogenic pain and provided valuable insights into the latest trending topics in the field. Analysis reveals that recent research has primarily focused on complementary and regenerative approaches for repairing painful discs, as well as the role of inflammatory responses in disc pathology.
