Bibliometric Mapping of Digitalization in Orthodontics: Evaluating Scientific Contributions, Collaboration Networks, and Future Directions.
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 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
Objective: To map scholarly trends in digital orthodontics by quantifying publication growth, identifying influential contributors and collaboration networks, and delineating emerging research themes. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the records published between January 2000 and May 2024 from the Web of Science Core Collection; VOSviewer was used to analyze co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, institutional productivity, and citation patterns. Results: A total of 1,567 publications were analyzed. Research output markedly increased after 2020 and peaked in 2023. The United States, Italy, and China were the leading contributing countries. Key institutions included Peking University, Radboud University, and the University of São Paulo. The most frequently cited authors were Xu, Kuijpers-Jagtman, and Lo Giudice. Major thematic clusters were centered on three-dimensional printing, artificial intelligence, and digital modeling. Conclusion: In recent years, digital orthodontics research has considerably accelerated, thus expanding international collaboration and rapid technological innovation. A limitation of this study is that coverage may differ from that of multi-database approaches. In addition, future bibliometric assessments should be complemented by qualitative appraisals and clinical outcome- oriented evaluations to strengthen translational relevance.
