From past to future: bibliometric perspective of international research activity on lateral epicondylitis.

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: Lateral epicondylitis, also termed as "tennis elbow", is the most common reason for elbow pain and dysfunction. This study aimed to assess the research activity on lateral epicondylitis worldwide. Methods: Publications on lateral epicondylitis from Web of Science database were recorded and analyzed in June 2024. For each article, citations, authors, title, organization, country, journal, year, keywords, topic, and H-index were extracted. VOSviewer and Excel 2020 were used to operate the bibliometric and visualized study. Results: A total of 913 publications between 1950 and 2023 were included. The total number of citations was 27,866 with the average citation per publication of 31 times. "Orthopedics" became the dominant topic ( Conclusion: This bibliometric study indicates that there is a growing trend in the number of publications on lateral epicondylitis. The United States dominated studies of lateral epicondylitis and the
