1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn the past decade, ultrasound has been increasingly used in the field of orthopaedics. The purpose of this study is to inspire future research in this field by analyzing the publications relating to ultrasound research in orthopaedics.

methodsAll relevant articles published between 2009 and 2020 were retrieved from Web of Science. Statistical Package for Social Science and GraphPad Prism 8 software were used to generate and analyse diagrams. VOSviewer software and CiteSpace were employed to visualize the research trends based on co-occurring keywords. Finally, we obtained information about relevant clinical randomized controlled trials (http://clinicaltrials.gov.com/).

resultsThe United States had the most publications in this field and the most citations and the highest H-index. Furthermore, Skeletal Radiology published the most papers related to the use of ultrasound in orthopaedics, Ozcakar L published the most papers, and a study by Kwon, YM had the highest citation frequency. The keywords "MRI", "complication", "female" and "male" were identified as being indicative of emerging topics.

conclusionsWhile the contribution of United States to publications in this field has been substantial, the future contributions of China cannot be ignored. Moreover, it is hypothesized that diagnostic and epidemiological aspects may become hotspots.
