Research trends in fracture-related infection: a bibliometric analysis and visualization study from 2017-2025.
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionInfection following orthopaedic trauma remains a major challenge to the orthopaedic surgeons, because of the increased morbidity, increase financial cost, and debilitating psychosocial effect associated with it. Several terminologies have previously been used to described it, but in 2017, there was introduction and consensus definition of the term Fracture-Related Infection (FRI). The objective of the current study is to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse the FRI research field. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Scopus database was used for this study. A search was conducted, and after identifying the most relevant publications on FRI, the data was retrieved and analysed using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The data analysed were the conceptual, intellectual and social structure of the body of literature on FRI, and the result was presented in tables and figures.
resultA total of 539 articles were identified. The results shows that 2485 authors from 75 countries have published documents related to FRI in 177 journals. It identifies University Hospital, Leuven as the most important institution contributing to the FRI literature and United State of America (USA) as the most productive country. The article by the consensus group is regarded as the most important article having been cited 547 times, and the journal with the most impact is Injury-International Journal of the care of the Injured.
conclusionThe research interest in FRI continues to increase as shown by the upward trend in the number of publications over the years, and it is possible this will continue based on the research trends.
