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

Background: Knee replacement is a surgical procedure designed to alleviate severe knee pain and dysfunction by removing the damaged joint surface and replacing it with an artificial prosthesis, thereby restoring joint function and reducing pain. This study aims to identify and analyze research trends related to perioperative complications associated with knee replacement through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. For bibliometric analysis, we utilized VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "Bibliometrix" to visualize collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrences, and emerging research trends. Results: A total of 5,751 articles published between 1973 and 2024 were included, contributed by 22,328 authors affiliated with 213 institutions across 47 countries. The United States (USA) led in publication volume with 2,403 articles and the highest citation count of 70,642. Parvizi Javad was identified as the most prolific author, contributing substantially with a high citation impact, while Harvard University emerged as the most productive institution. Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis highlights pivotal research trends in perioperative complications of knee replacement, with the USA and Harvard University as primary contributors. Future research is expected to focus on advancing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols to further reduce complications and improve patient outcomes.
