A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 50 Most Cited Articles on Iatrogenic Nerve Injuries of the Upper Limb Following Surgery.
Review in Journal of brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injury, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Iatrogenic nerve injuries of the upper limb have profound impacts on patients their pain, functionality, and quality of life. Objectives: This study aims to identify and analyze the most cited publications on those iatrogenic injuries to elicit trends, thematic analysis, and reduce risk. Methodology: A bibliometric analysis was performed using the Web of Science database. Search terms included "Iatrogenic," "Upper Limb," "Nerve," and "Injury." The top 50 cited peer-reviewed publications were ranked by citation count and analyzed for publication year, journal, country of origin, institutional affiliations, authorship, and research focus. Trends in diagnostic and management practices were also evaluated. Results: The most cited articles, published between 1995 and 2022, peaked in publication frequency in 2010 and 2017 ( Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis highlights key studies on iatrogenic upper limb nerve injuries, identifies trends and gaps, and lays a foundation for evidence-based protocols. It also serves as a guide for future research and collaborative efforts to improve prevention and treatment.
