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: Hemophilic arthropathy (HA), a common complication of hemophilia caused by recurrent hemarthrosis, significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Despite ongoing research, a comprehensive overview of research trends for HA is lacking. Therefore, this study utilizes bibliometrics and knowledge mapping techniques to visually analyze the current status and developmental trends of HA-related research, and analyzed and predicted future research hotspots. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data on publications, author names, countries, research institutions, journals, and keywords were extracted and visualized using Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpaces. Results: The number of HA-related publications has increased steadily over time. United States was found to be the leading country in terms of publications and international collaborations. HEMOPHILIA was found to be the most influential journal and Hospital Universitario La Paz to be the leading institution conducting HA-related research. Rodriguez-Merchan EC was identified as the most prominent researcher in the field. Keyword analysis identified five main research clusters, namely, quality of life and management, pathogenesis, classification and functional assessment, replacement surgery, and ankle arthritis treatment. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the research trends for HA. Future studies must focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms of HA, developing early diagnostic biomarkers, and exploring personalized treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes. Our study offers valuable insights to researchers to facilitate the identification of emerging trends and prioritization of future research directions.
