Bibliometric and visualization analysis of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis from 2004 to 2024.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oral health, 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
Background: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a severe condition affecting the temporomandibular joint, impairing essential oral functions such as chewing, speaking, and swallowing. Recent studies have made significant outcomes in pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, and therapy in the field of TMJOA. However, knowledge of research trends and hotspots of TMJOA is still lacking in this field. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of TMJOA, providing a comprehensive overview of current research hotspots and trends. Methods: A total of 584 TMJOA-related records published between 2004 and 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, the R package "bibliometrix", and the Bibliometric website were used to analyze countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords to identify research trends in TMJOA. Results: Publications on TMJOA have shown a steady annual increase. Globally, China and the USA emerged as the leading contributors, accounting for over 60% of the publications. Sichuan University ranked first in total publications and citations, while the University of Northern Carolina led in average citations. The Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights publication trends, research hotspots, citation patterns, and collaborative networks among countries, institutions, and authors in the TMJOA field. Future research is expected to focus on molecular signaling pathways and targeted therapies for TMJOA, with the ultimate goal of accelerating translational research to enhance clinical outcomes for patients.
