Latin America's Cardiovascular Scientific Surgeons: A 20-Year Visual and Bibliometric Journey of Resilience.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 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: The academic and research contributions of cardiovascular scientific surgeons in Latin America have remained largely unnoticed. This study analyzes the bibliometric production of cardiovascular scientific surgeons over the past 20 years and its impact on Latin American cardiovascular surgery. Methods: A bibliometric-visual study was conducted using the Scopus database (2004-2024) with 95 major thesauri in Latin American cardiovascular surgery. Data on publications, authorship, citations, trends, collaborative networks, journals, topics, sponsorship, and economic development factors were analyzed using the R bibliometrix package and Stata software. Results: A total of 8559 publications and 47,171 authors (2.5% of global output) were analyzed, with 77.41% being original articles or case reports. Brazil led scientific production (47.26%), with international coauthorship at 33.12%. The most cited journal was the Conclusions: This is the first bibliometric analysis of cardiovascular scientific surgeons in Latin America, highlighting significant growth despite challenges. Predictive models suggest a potential for the highest production in 20 years by 2025 in the post-pandemic era. Stronger research policies, increased funding, and enhanced collaboration are essential to sustain growth.
