Comprehensive bibliometric and visualized analysis of research on incisional hernia and component separation from 1996 to 2023.
Review in JPRAS open, 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
Introduction: In parallel with the increasing number of studies published on component separation technique (CST), there are no bibliometric studies on this subject. This study aimed to report previously published literature in CST to identify the research status. Methods: A search was undertaken for documents published between 1996 and 2023 from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the keywords "incisional hernia" and "component separation." Results: A total of 469 publications was found from 121 different journals. The USA was in the leading position in several fields (productive authors, active institutions, and international cooperation).CST was predominantly published in plastic surgery journals; however, after more specialized journals on topics such as Conclusion: Although CST research on incisional hernia repair has witnessed notable growth, publications in plastic surgery journals have declined. We encourage these journals to highlight the critical role of plastic surgery and the importance of collaboration between general and plastic surgeons worldwide, focusing on minimally invasive techniques to establish robust evidence for the standard repair of large abdominal wall defects.
