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

Background: Research on scoliosis and osteoporosis has increased steadily, but the research landscape and thematic evolution of this field remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to provide a bibliometric mapping review of publication trends, collaboration patterns, research hotspots, and emerging directions in this interdisciplinary area. Methods: A bibliometric mapping review of published literature was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) and Scopus. Relevant publications published between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2025, were identified. Bibliometrix, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were used to analyze collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, burst references, and thematic evolution. Results: A total of 1,289 records were identified, and 1,013 publications were included after deduplication, including 810 articles and 203 reviews. Annual publication output increased steadily from 2006 to 2025, with an R Conclusions: Research on scoliosis and osteoporosis has expanded substantially over the past 2 decades and has become an increasingly multidisciplinary field led primarily by the United States and China. The field has shifted toward bone quality assessment, risk stratification, complication prediction, and comprehensive management.
