Global trends and research landscape of arthroscopic therapy and exercise rehabilitation in meniscal tear: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMeniscus tears are common knee injuries managed via arthroscopy and rehabilitation. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of trends and collaborations is lacking.
methodsA bibliometric analysis of English-language literature (1985-2023) from the Web of Science Core Collection was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R package "bibliometrix" to analyze publications, citations, and keywords.
resultsA total of 607 articles were included in this study. The United States had the highest publication volume (191), followed by China (41) and Japan (39). The most productive institution was the University of Southern Denmark with 53 publications. American Journal of Sports Medicine was one of the most influential journals in its field. Key authors in the field included Roos EMA M. Early studies focused on clinical manifestations of meniscal tear, with keywords like "injuries", "diagnosis", "knee" being concentrated. Recently, themes of "risk", "reliability", and "validation" attracted attention of researchers, highlighting standard diagnosis and treatment. Notably, keywords persistent bursts continuing into 2024 included "outcome (outcm)" and "diagnosis".
conclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive perspective on the fields of arthroscopic treatment and exercise rehabilitation for meniscal tears. These findings underscore the growing interest in standard diagnosis and treatment for meniscal tear by high-quality trials. More importantly, the combination of diagnosis and treatment by arthroscopy is a promising alternative option during clinical practice in the future.
