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

objectiveRetroperitoneal sarcomas are located in the retroperitoneum, characterized by a low incidence rate but a high degree of aggressiveness. Currently, surgery stands as the only curative treatment. This literature aims to employ a bibliometric analysis to systematically evaluate the research hotspots and trends in retroperitoneal sarcomas surgery.

methodsAuthors retrieved publications related to retroperitoneal sarcomas surgery from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and PubMed databases spanning the period from 2005 to 2024. Subsequently, R, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were employed to conduct bibliometric and visual analysis on the included publications.

resultsA total of 689 publications were included from 203 countries/regions and 2678 institutions. The United States had the highest number of publications, and Fdn IRCCS Ist Nazl Tumori is the top research institutions. The most frequently co-cited keywords were "soft tissue sarcoma", "management" and "survival". The research themes over the past decade have primarily centered around "management", "prognostic factors" and "inferior vena cava".

conclusionsThis study utilized three widely recognized bibliometric software tools to conduct a bibliometric analysis on retroperitoneal sarcomas surgery. The results emphasize the significance of precise diagnosis, vascular reconstruction and prognostic factors, providing practical information for other scholars to understand key directions and frontier information in this field.
