Bibliometric Analysis of the 100 Most-cited Publications in Burn Surgery: Analysis of Web of Science Databases.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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: Burn injuries are a global health concern with a substantial sociological burden of disease, causing physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences. Despite the multidisciplinary and complex nature of the field, limited comprehensive bibliometric research has been conducted. Methods: A search of the Web of Science database was conducted to identify the top 100 most-cited burn-related publications. Bibliometric and visual analyses were performed using the VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and Biblioshiny packages in R. Citation metrics, institutional networks, collaboration clusters, thematic keyword analysis, and author demographics were compiled and analyzed. Results: The vast majority of included studies were published after 2000. The University of Texas System and Shriners Hospitals were the leading institutions and authors, highlighting the strength of US research and fostering a sense of achievement and trust in the field's progress. Conclusions: Our findings reveal dominant contributors and disparities in authorship and geographic representation, encouraging the research community to foster greater inclusivity and collaboration across regions.
