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

Background: Ureteral stricture is caused by iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic factors. The treatment of ureteral stricture usually involves ureteral reconstruction. This study aimed to identify and analyze the top 100 most cited (T100) papers in ureteral stricture reconstruction, a field lacking prior bibliometric analysis. Methods: Using the Web of Science Core Collection, we retrieved the T100 articles and review articles on ureteral stricture reconstruction and applied bibliometric tools (CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix) to examine citation patterns, authorship, geographic distribution, journal distribution, co-citation networks, and keyword trends. Results: The T100 articles received 4 to 130 citations each, with an average of 25.13. Publications originated from 23 countries, with the USA leading (56 papers, 1,635 total citations) followed by China (17 papers). Temple University (USA, 12 papers) and Peking University (China, 9 papers) were among the most productive institutions. Daniel D. Eun was the top contributing author (12 papers). Conclusions: Our study provides a comprehensive overview of influential literature in ureteral stricture reconstruction. Ureteral stricture reconstruction is an emerging research field. Mucosa grafts and robot-assisted surgery are likely to be hot topics in the future.
