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

Objectives: This study aims to identify the 50 most influential articles on acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury, exploring research trends and treatment options. Methods: Utilizing the Scopus database, the 50 top-cited articles were selected based on predefined criteria and analyzed for bibliometrics, including authorship, journal, and evidence level. Results: From 1963 to 2021, these articles amassed 3,363 citations, primarily comprising case series with level IV evidence, published across 19 journals from eight countries. Conclusion: This review highlights the dynamic progression in AC joint injury management and signals the urgent need for advanced research to enhance clinical decision-making and evidence-based practices.
