From residency to research excellence, mapping orthopaedic publication trends: A scoping review.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Publications are critical for the future orthopaedic surgeon. The growing emphasis on academic output in orthopaedic residency programs has significantly impacted their career progression and fellowship opportunities. Mentorship, institutional support, and protected research time are crucial to enhancing publication rates among orthopaedic residents. This study aims to explore trends in publication among orthopaedic residents, examining the factors that influence their academic productivity and suggesting strategies to enhance output. Methods: A scoping review was conducted on the existing literature regarding publication trends among orthopaedic residents, factors influencing publication, and interventions to enhance research output. We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases using keywords such as "orthopaedic resident," "academic productivity," "research output," and "publication trends." A total of 208 articles were reviewed, with a focus on 34 papers deemed relevant to our review. Results: Our review revealed a correlation between increased publications during residency and the successful completion of fellowships at high-ranking programs. Institutional support, mentorship, research infrastructure, and allocated research time have been identified as factors to enhance research output. Specifically, having a structured research curriculum and allocated research time have been demonstrated to improve the publication rate. Moreover, the utilisation of technology, including artificial intelligence and data analytics, has emerged as a mechanism to enhance research productivity among orthopaedic residents. Conclusion: We emphasised that publications are essential for the career development of orthopaedic residents. A robust research infrastructure, supportive mentorship programs, and the integration of research education into the residency curriculum are fundamental for achieving academic excellence. As orthopaedic residency programs evolve, addressing and prioritising research culture while leveraging technological innovations ensures the continued advancement of orthopaedic surgery.
