Bibliometric Analysis of the Worldwide Scientific Production on Periapical Lesions in Veterinary Medicine: Visualization, Emerging Patterns, and Thematic Evolution.

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
To conduct a bibliometric mapping of the global scientific production of periapical lesions in veterinary medicine by evaluating collaborative networks, emerging patterns, and spatiotemporal dynamics. Documents published between 1986 and 2024 that addressed topics related to periapical lesions in the veterinary field were included. Articles, reviews, book chapters, and books containing specific key terms in their titles or abstracts, such as "periapical abscess," "periapical infection," and "periapical pathology," were selected. Documents unrelated to the veterinary field, duplicates, and those that did not provide relevant information were excluded. The search was conducted in Scopus on December 28, 2024, using a specific search formula. The data selection and extraction process was conducted using RStudio and the Bibliometrix package, and VOSviewer was used for the co-occurrence analysis of keywords. Lotka's law, Bradford's law, and thematic evolution were applied for data analysis. The study covered the period from 1986 to 2024 and analyzed 95 documents from 37 sources with an annual growth rate of 2.93%. The average age of the documents was 12.2 years, with an average of 13.96 citations per document and 2345 references. A total of 280 authors participated, with only 15 single-author documents and an average of 3.83 co-authors per document. International collaborations accounted for 11.58% of the total. The most productive journals were the "
