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

Purpose: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown great potential in cartilage tissue engineering (TE) due to their accessibility, high proliferation rate, and chondrogenic differentiation capacity. This study aims to systematically evaluate research trends, collaboration patterns, and emerging themes in ADSC-based cartilage TE through a bibliometric analysis, providing actionable insights to address knowledge gaps and advance the field. Patients and Methods: A systematic search was conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database to identify publications related to ADSCs and cartilage TE. Bibliometric and visualized analysis was performed using VOSviewers (V 1.6.20), CiteSpace (V 6.3.R1) and Bibliometrix (R 4.3.3). Results: A total of 436 English articles were analyzed, involving 2356 authors from 1532 institutions across 50 countries/regions, contributing to 189 journals. The annual growth rate of publications was 8.73%, peaking in 2021. China contributed the most articles (n=127, 29.1%), followed by the USA (n=65, 14.9%). Leading institutions included Kaohsiung Medical University and Duke University. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides valuable guidance for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers, emphasizing the necessity of addressing translational challenges and fostering global collaboration to develop clinically effective solutions for cartilage repair and regeneration.
