Top 100 Most-Cited Studies on MRI and Neuroplasticity in Stroke: A Scoping Review and Bibliometric Analysis of Citation Trends.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become central to understanding neuroplasticity-the brain's capacity to reorganize after injury-by providing insights into structural and functional changes during recovery. Despite its importance, the intellectual and conceptual foundations of MRI-based neuroplasticity research in stroke remain underexplored. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus from January 2004 to December 2024. Eligible studies were original articles and reviews assessing neuroplasticity in stroke using MRI modalities. Citation Classics were defined as ≥100 citations. Performance indicators (citations, citation rate per year, active years, authorship, article type) were compared using Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests. Science mapping was performed with Biblioshiny (K-Synth Srl, Naples, Italy) and VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands) to identify intellectual, conceptual, and collaborative structures. From 854 initial records, 100 most-cited articles were included (59-1,274 citations). Citation Classics (n = 62) had significantly higher mean citation counts and rates per year than non-Classics (p < 0.0001). Reviews predominated among Classics, while original research was more frequent in non-Classics. High-impact journals (
