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

The bibliometric study aimed to analyze the 100 most cited systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) in the field of oral pathology. This is the first research on SRs and MAs conducted on citation analysis pertaining to oral pathology. On December 24, 2024, a search was made in the Web of Science database for 3,000 articles. Out of that pool, the 100 most cited oral pathology-associated articles were selected after confirming their indexing status in the PubMed database. Standard information on the periodic growth, authors, affiliated organizations, publication year, citation metrics, and research topic domains was recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted via the Pearson Chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The VOSviewer program was employed to conduct a network analysis for co-occurring key terms. The results depicted the 100 most cited articles from subjects of oral pathology/oral medicine and associated head and neck pathology published between 1990 and 2022. The journal with the highest number of articles was
