Trends and hotspots in epiphyseal injury studies over 2 decades: A bibliometric analysis.
Review in Chinese journal of traumatology = Zhonghua chuang shang za zhi, 2026. 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
purposeThis review provides guidance and ideas for researchers through a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the present state, trends, and hotspots in the epiphyseal injury literature in the last 2 decades.
methodsWe searched the Web of Science core database to explore the epiphyseal injury literature from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2022. (1) Search parameters: #1. TS = "epiphysis" or "epiphyseal" or "growth plate"; #2. TS = "injury" or "trauma". (2) Document types: "Article" and "Review"; (3) Time: January 1, 2003-December 31, 2022; (4) Languages: "English". We used Citespace 6.2.R3 software to explore the country/region distribution, institutions, journals, keyword analysis, and co-cited references of the literature.
resultsA total of 2138 relevant literature were obtained, with the number of publications increasing annually. The country with the highest number of publications is the United States. The highest-producing institution was Harvard University. The most cited journal was the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume. The first tag for keyword clustering was the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Keyword bursts were found in the recent attention to the words: outcome, physeal fractures, risk factors, fixation, risk, transplantation, and osteoarthritis. The analysis of the literature co-citation found that the topic of ACL and regeneration of epiphysis is a trend in research and high-quality literature in this field.
conclusionsWe can quickly get a sense of the focus and changing trends in epiphyseal injuries through keywords and co-citation reference bursts. The treatment of ACL injuries is a major area of interest for researchers. The most common concerns are MRI assessment of ACL injury reconstruction, comparison of different treatment methods, such as avoiding damage in epiphyseal reconstruction surgery, and associated complications. The analysis of the keywords and the co-citation references revealed that managing risk factors, treatment modalities, and complications related to epiphyseal injury after epiphyseal fracture will be a trend in future research.
