Abstract
The literature on Dupuytren's contracture is vast yet little information is known as to which papers have been the most influential. The purpose of this study was to identify the 50 most cited papers on Dupuytren's contracture and perform a citation analysis. Utilizing the Web of Science, 23 surgical, medical, plastic and hand surgery journals were searched for papers on Dupuytren's contracture. Resulting articles were ranked in order of times cited and each paper was analyzed for article-type, year of publication, country of origin, institution and level of evidence. The 50 most cited articles represent many important landmarks in Dupuytren's treatment and contain several seminal works by experts in the field. Whilst the top 50 list highlights the important papers on the condition, they certainly do not provide information about the quality of the evidence of the research, as most papers presented level 4 or 5 evidence.
关于Dupuytren结构的文献大量,但很少有人知道哪些论文最有影响力。本研究的目的是找出被引最多的50篇关于Dupuytren结构的论文,并进行引文分析。利用Web of Science,检索了23种外科、医学、整形和手外科期刊,以检索有关Dupuytren挛缩的论文。研究人员根据被引用次数对文章进行了排序,并根据文章类型、出版年份、原产国、机构和证据水平对每篇论文进行了分析。这50篇被引用最多的文章代表了Dupuytren治疗的许多重要里程碑,并包含了该领域专家的一些开创性作品。虽然排名前50的论文强调了该条件下的重要论文,但它们肯定不会提供有关研究证据质量的信息,因为大多数论文都提供了4级或5级证据。
