A bibliometric analysis of the most-cited studies on robotic nephrectomy versus laparoscopic nephrectomy: Citation trends and scientific influence

Robotic nephrectomy has emerged as an alternative to laparoscopic nephrectomy, offering enhanced surgical precision, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery. However, its clinical effectiveness and cost-efficiency remain debated. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited publications comparing robotic and laparoscopic nephrectomy, focusing on clinical, technological, and economic aspects. A bibliometric search was conducted in the Scopus database on July 26, 2025,...

A large language model pipeline for automated citation quality scoring across engineering journal quartiles with expert validation

This study proposes and evaluates a two-stage large language model (LLM)-based pipeline for automated citation quality scoring in academic manuscripts. The pipeline operates as follows: in Stage 1, citation sentences are extracted from full-text PDFs and matched to their referenced articles using the Gemini 2.5 Flash model; in Stage 2, each citation-reference pair is scored for semantic relevance on a continuous 0-10 scale by a second LLM inference call operating under a structured five-tier...

Publication time valid prediction of citation risk outcomes in a bounded clinical specialty literature corpus

Citation-prediction studies often estimate citation counts using information unavailable at publication. We evaluated whether citation-risk outcomes can be predicted using only publication-time information: metadata, references, author history, and text available on or before publication. We assembled 9,424 original-research articles published from 2017 to 2022 across seven clinical gastroenterology journals using OpenAlex and PubMed. The primary reference-observed cohort included 8,409 articles...

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology: 65 Years of History

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (JCP), published continuously since its founding in 1961, is the principal biomedical publication of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (ACCP), and is one of the first scientific journals devoted to the discipline of clinical pharmacology. In its 65 years, more than 8000 scientific papers have appeared in the pages of JCP, leading to literature citations exceeding 66,000 in number. Eight distinguished and visionary scientists-beginning with the...

Contribution of Countries and International Collaboration in Clinical Pharmacology Research. A Cross-Sectional Bibliometric Study of Six Top Ranked Specialty Society Journals

There are no bibliometrics analyses on articles published in clinical pharmacology journals. We aimed to determine the countries in which authors of original investigations or meta-analyses were based and their international collaboration. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in six journals linked to learned clinical pharmacology societies/associations. For each journal, we started with the June-2025 issue and searched backward for articles meeting the selection criteria until 100 were...

Research trends and hotspots in sclerotherapy for vascular malformations: bibliometric and visual analyses

INTRODUCTION: Vascular malformations are a group of congenital vascular developmental anomalies. According to the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies classification, they are mainly divided into Slow-Flow and Fast-Flow lesions. Slow-Flow lesions are represented by venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, and capillary malformations; Fast-Flow lesions primarily include arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. As a minimally invasive interventional...

Predictors of Altmetric Score in Top-Cited Orthopaedic Articles: A Bibliometric Analysis

Research articles are increasingly being disseminated on social media, which is not captured by traditional bibliometrics. The Article-Level Metric score captures the 'social' impact of such research articles as well. The current bibliometric analysis was planned to identify predictors of high Altmetric score in the top-cited articles related to orthopaedic surgery. Multilevel, mixedmethod, linear regression was employed to adjust for clustering of article-level and journal-level factors among...

Fecal microbiota transplantation in obesity: a comprehensive overview from basic research to clinical application

CONCLUSION: Although FMT shows promise, its clinical benefits remain transient and variable across individuals. Current evidence does not yet support routine clinical application. Targeted oral microbiota supplementation may represent a future direction, but high-quality, large-scale clinical trials are urgently needed to establish standardized protocols and evaluate long-term safety and efficacy.

Protocol for Developing and Validating a Multimarker-Clinical Prediction Model of SGLT2 Inhibitor-Induced Acute eGFR Dip in CKD Stages 3-4: A Three-Stage Urinary Proteomics Study

Introduction: SGLT2 inhibitors reduce renal composite endpoints and proteinuria, yet RCTs uniformly show an acute eGFR dip within 2 weeks to 2 months after initiation. However, demographic and clinical predictors of an acute eGFR dip demonstrate considerable heterogeneity across studies. This study aims to identify urinary protein biomarkers of this early eGFR dip and integrate them with routine variables to build a clinically actionable prediction model. Methods and analysis: This three-stage...
