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

aimTo summarize publication trends in the field of strabismus over the past 30y and predict future research hotspots.

methodsA total of 2915 English-language articles and reviews on strabismus, published between 1993 and 2022, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analyses were performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software to explore publication trends, as well as the contributions and collaborative networks of countries/regions, authors, institutions, and journals.

resultsThe annual number of publications on strabismus showed a consistent upward trend. The United States (USA) maintained a leading position in this research field while Republic of Korea and China emerged as rapidly advancing contributors over the last decade. The University of California, Los Angeles ranked as the most productive institution, and Jonathan M. Holmes from USA was the most productive author.

conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of strabismus research, revealing the evolution of research hotspots over the past 30y and outlining several cutting-edge directions for future investigation.
