Unveiling the citation classics: Bibliometric analysis and visualization of the top 100 most cited articles on traumatic brain injury.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2026. 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: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major global health issue with high incidence and mortality, particularly in East Asia. However, most high-impact publications still originate from Western institutions. Significant heterogeneity in study designs, populations, and outcome measures limits the development of standardized clinical guidelines. Bibliometric analysis helps map the scientific landscape, highlight trends and gaps, and support more targeted research. Methods: A total of 79,608 publications related to TBI were retrieved from the Dimensions database for publications from 2000 to 2025. From this dataset, the top 100 most-cited articles were selected and further analyzed using VOSviewer to map study design, keywords, institutions, authors, and research collaboration networks. Results: Frequent keywords included "Mild Traumatic Brain Injury", "Intracranial Pressure", and "Death". Most studies involved human subjects ( Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis identifies critical gaps in TBI research, including the absence of randomized controlled trials evidence for mild TBI, underrepresentation of pediatric research, and a geographic mismatch between research output and disease burden. Addressing these gaps can improve evidence-based practice and advance global TBI care.
