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: Nerve transplantation, as a classical nerve repair technique, has received extensive attention in recent years. However, the rapid development of this field has also brought challenges such as knowledge fragmentation and the blurring of research hotspots. Therefore, at present, the future research direction of this field is not clear. Through the research method of bibliometrics, this study investigates the research hotspots and development trends in this field, and fills the research gap in this field. Methods: The publications in the core database of Web of Science (WoS) were collected, and the included publications were analyzed by bibliometric methods after the screening exclusion process. The basic information of the publications was analyzed, and the future development direction and research hotspots were predicted and visualized. Results: A total of 847 publications were included in the research, in the past 10 years, the number of publications in this field has nearly doubled (49 publications), and the number of publications in this field will continue to grow in the next 15 years. In terms of national contribution, the United States is the largest contributor (289 publications), and in terms of institutional contribution, Fudan University is the largest contributor (47 publications). Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric analysis in the field of nerve transplantation, which included all publications in this field in the past decade. Our results illuminate the contributions of countries and institutions, international cooperation, interdisciplinary relationships, and future research directions. This research will point out the future development path of nerve transplantation.
