Patient Safety in Orthopedic Surgery: A Bibliometric Study.
Review in Current health sciences journal. 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
backgroundPatient safety is a critical issue that directly affects the success of orthopedic surgeries and requires multidisciplinary collaboration. The aim of this study is to review publications on patient safety in orthopedic surgery from past to present, analyze their bibliometric characteristics, identify prevailing trends and content, and present the existing body of evidence.
methodsA descriptive and bibliometric analysis approach was employed in the study. The data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on April 7, 2025, as it is considered a primary source for academic decision-making. After applying inclusion criteria, a total of 784 articles were included in the bibliometric analysis.
resultsThe first publication on the subject in WoSCC was published in 1983. The total number of citations for all included publications was 11,308, with an average of 13.6 citations per article. The most prolific author was "Selene G. Parekh" (2 articles), the most productive institution was the "University of Pittsburgh" (3 articles), the most productive country was the "United States" (30 articles), and the leading journal was "Orthopedics" (8 articles).
conclusionThis bibliometric analysis revealed that in recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications related to patient safety in orthopedic surgery. As the topic has gained more attention, citation rates have also increased proportionally. The most frequently researched subjects in this area include blood loss and postoperative reoperation rates following orthopedic procedures.
