A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles in interventional cardiology: trends, authors, journals, origins, and gender representation.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction: Bibliometric analysis provides a quantitative and objective method to identify research trends, influential authors, and institutions within a field, guiding both researchers and funding bodies. Aim: To identify and evaluate the top 100 most-cited articles in interventional cardiology, analyzing citation trends, authorship, funding, geographic origins, and gender representation. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on Scopus in June 2023 by two independent reviewers to identify the top 100 most-cited interventional cardiology articles. Both original and review articles were included regardless of publication year or language. Guideline articles and non-human studies were excluded. Extracted data included citation counts, publication year, study design, author affiliations, gender of first and senior authors, and funding status. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v25.0. Results: The 100 articles received a total of 225 984 citations, with a median of 1640.5 and 100.4 citations per year. Most were randomized controlled trials (61%) and original research (98%), primarily published between 1993 and 2012. Conclusion: This analysis reveals key trends in interventional cardiology, emphasizing the dominance of high-income countries and underrepresentation of women and developing regions. Greater inclusivity and global collaboration are needed to foster a more equitable research environment.
