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

Objective: To analyze the research status and development prospects of hydrogels in the field of bone regeneration based on bibliometric methods. Methods: In the Web of Science Core Collection database, a total of 1382 representative articles related to the application of hydrogels in bone regeneration were selected as of the end of 2023. Utilizing the tools VOSviewer and CiteSpace, an in-depth bibliometric visualization analysis was conducted to reveal the countries, authors, core literature, and journals that are highly productive in this field. Additionally, the research trends and development prospects within this area were analyzed. Results: This study uses VOSviewer and CiteSpace to analyze 1382 highly cited articles on bone regeneration and materials science, revealing key trends and the evolution of the field. The United States, China, South Korea, Germany, the UK, and Japan are the leading countries in scientific output, with strong collaboration networks. Major research institutions, particularly in China and Japan, focus on hydrogels for bone regeneration. Top journals include Conclusion: Advancements in technology have transformed hydrogels from simple fillers to multifunctional composites, playing a crucial role in bone regeneration. Future trends include smart hydrogels, 3D printing, bioactive factor integration, cell engineering, and optimized biodegradability and biocompatibility. These developments indicate hydrogels will become the preferred material for clinical bone defect repair, significantly enhancing bone tissue repair and regeneration.
