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

Purpose: This study aims to detect influential works and authors, collaboration patterns, the developmental trajectory, current hotspots, and research gaps by multiple-perspective bibliometric analyses on publications related to temporomandibular disorders in children and adolescents from 2000 to 2024. Methods: All documents were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Excel, VOSviewer, Pajek, SCImago Graphica, and CiteSpace software were utilized for visualized analyses of research trends, co-authorship (including authors, institutions, and countries), journals, keywords, and cited references. Results: A total of 2208 articles and reviews were retrieved and extracted. Both annual publications and citations exhibited the trend of significant increases. Pedersen TK was the most productive author, while List T was the most cited. The co-author networks represented by Yang C exhibited independent activities and emerging trends. Aarhus University was the most productive institution. Malmo University was influential with the most citations. The United States of America was leading and majorly collaborative in this field. Most Asian countries demonstrated a lack of cooperation but growingly engaged. Conclusions: Burst keywords and references showed that prevalences, the diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders, temporomandibular joint involvement in JIA, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and psychosocial factors were hotspots in recent years. It is hoped that this study will favor both clinicians and researchers by recommending valuable works, guiding their future work priorities, and inspiring their potential collaborations.
