Exoscopes in Neurosurgery: A Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis.
Review in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 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
Exoscopes, introduced as an alternative to operative microscopes in neurosurgery, aim to enhance intraoperative visualization, ergonomics, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. This study employs bibliometric analysis to delineate topic trends and fields within neurosurgery utilizing exoscopes. Articles and reviews from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2023, were manually retrieved from Scopus, based on predefined criteria encompassing publications related to exoscopes in neurosurgery. All publication records were imported and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer. A total of 186 articles were included for final analysis. While work on exoscopes was limited until 2015, there was an upsurge in publication output from 2018 to 2022. The United States led in the number of articles (72/186, 38.7%) and in total citations (1259). Brazil ranked first in average citation index (26.00). The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, United States, published the most articles (5), while Cedars-Sinai Medical Center USA accrued the highest number of citations (181). A.J. Schupper (4) and Constantinos Hadjipanayis (7) were the authors with the most publications as the first author and the last author, respectively.
