A scientometric, visualization, and content analysis on surgical endodontics from inception to 2023.
Review in Odontology, 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
In persistent periapical lesions, periapical surgery may be considered an alternative treatment option to remove inflammatory and necrotic tissue from the periapical region, seal the apical root end, and promote tissue regeneration. The present scientometric analysis aims to analyze the scientific landscape in the field of surgical endodontics, identify research trends, and classify popular topics. A thorough literature search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases on 29 September 2023 to retrieve all articles related to surgical endodontics. The articles were analyzed with Biblioshiny software, and the following details were collected: publication titles & years, authors' names and affiliations, journals' metrics, citation counts, author keywords, the field of study, study design, and outcome. A total of 1988 publications concerning surgical endodontics from 1935 until September 2023 were identified and further analyzed. Sixty-two countries contributed to scientific production in this field and the USA was the most productive among them. Von Arx T. and the Journal of Endodontics was the most relevant author and journal, respectively. "Materials" was the most prevalent title term and "apicoectomy" was the most used keyword. The distribution of the scientific literature on surgical endodontics was as follows: 38.3% basic science, 15.8% reviews, 37.2% observational studies, and 8.7% clinical studies. Overall, 31% of the conducted research concerned the materials and 19% the techniques used in clinical practice. This bibliometric analysis describes the research landscape in surgical endodontics and converts the acquired data into useful information regarding the current and future trends of this field.
