Research Trends and Knowledge Evolution of Surgical Approaches in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Bibliometric Analysis.

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
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) critically influences outcomes; however, a comprehensive mapping of the research landscape remains absent. We systematically characterized the knowledge structure, collaborative networks, and research priorities within the THA approach literature from 2000 to 2026. Multi-database bibliometric analysis integrated data from the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Following deduplication, 4023 publications were analyzed using Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace to map publication trends, collaboration networks, thematic evolution, and citation dynamics. Annual publications demonstrated sustained expansion (annual growth rate: 9.68% over the complete-year window 2000-2024), with marked acceleration after 2020 and peak production exceeding 300 publications during 2023 to 2024. The United States emerged as the primary hub (30.7% of publications), with European and East Asian centers forming secondary nodes. The Journal of Arthroplasty anchored volume (637 publications), while high-impact general journals (JBJS-Am, CORR) achieved the greatest citation efficiency (>60 citations per publication). Keyword clustering revealed well-differentiated themes (
