Characteristics of the Top 50 Most-Cited Arthroscopic Remplissage Articles Reveal Growing Recognition But Persistent Knowledge Gaps.

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
Purpose: To identify and examine the article, author, and journal characteristics of the top 50 most-cited articles on the arthroscopic remplissage procedure for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability in the field of orthopaedic sports medicine. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was performed for the most-cited arthroscopic remplissage articles using the Web of Science databases with the search term "remplissage" OR "posterior capsulotenodesis" OR "infraspinatus tenodesis." Articles were included if their primary focus was on the arthroscopic remplissage technique and with or without associated clinical outcomes. Articles addressing shoulder instability, shoulder dislocation, and surgical decision making without explicit reference to the arthroscopic remplissage technique were excluded. Results: The top 50 articles on arthroscopic remplissage received a total of 2727 citations with an average of 55 citations per year. Citations have increased from 2008 to 2024. The most frequently cited article with the highest citations-per-year was Purchase et al. (2008), which introduced the arthroscopic remplissage technique. The top three articles were cited >100 times. The top-cited articles were predominantly published in Conclusions: No relationship was found between the level of evidence and number of citations of arthroscopic Remplissage articles; however, journal impact factor was associated with citation frequency when adjusted for study design and level of evidence. Clinical Relevance: Articles with the most citations often correlate with greater influence by shaping clinical decision-making and guiding future research. By identifying and characterizing the recurrent themes of the top-cited articles, we provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution, current understanding, and impact of the arthroscopic remplissage technique in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability.
