The 100 most-cited articles in thyroid surgery from 1990 to 2023: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Gland surgery, 2025. 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
Background: The 2015 U.S. guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules are recognized as authoritative in the industry, but lack a comprehensive assessment of the development of this field. The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to identify and assess the 100 most-cited articles that have shaped the modern history of thyroid surgery. Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to search the 100 most-cited articles in the field of thyroid surgery. VOSviewer was used to visually analyse countries/regions, institutions, authors, keywords, and characteristics of the top-100 articles. Results: The citations of the 100 most-cited articles published between January 1990 and January 2023 ranged from 279 to 7,073. The 100 most-cited articles were published by 25 countries, over half of which were from the USA (n=54). Harvard University (14 articles) and University System of Ohio (14 articles) from the USA (The United States of America) were the top institutions. Schlumberger M from the Institute Gustave Roussy and University Paris Sud was the most productive author with 10 articles. The top-cited article was published by Haugen Bryan R Conclusions: The top 100 articles in thyroid surgery have been cited widely and have had a profound impact. The USA was the most influential and productive country. Harvard University and University System of Ohio contributed most to the top 100 articles. Schlumberger M was the most productive and influential author. Moreover, especially thyroid papillary carcinoma, fine needle aspiration, is a research hotspot and potential direction in the future for thyroid surgery.
