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

Objective: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), with their osteoinductive properties, present a potential alternative, but their safety and efficacy are still debated. This study seeks to understand BMPs research in orthopedics through bibliometric analysis, assessing the current state and identifying research trends and frontiers. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database for English-language articles pertaining to BMPs and orthopedic themes from January 1, 1900, to November 1, 2024. Bibliometric parameter extraction, CiteSpace, Microsoft Excel were employed for data processing and network visualization analysis. Results: This study included a total of 1048 articles, demonstrating sustained research activity in BMPs applications in orthopedics over the past 32 years. In this domain, Takaoka Kunio was identified as the most prolific author. The United States was the most productive country, with the University of California System emerging as the leading institution. The Conclusion: The study offers a comprehensive overview of the current state and development trends of BMPs applications in orthopedics, encompassing countries, institutions, authors, journals, research hotspots, and frontier areas, providing directional guidance and research insights for subsequent studies in BMPs applications in orthopedics.
