Abstract | Background: We reviewed the shoulder arthroplasty (SA) literature to correlate citations, methodological characteristics and quality of most-cited articles in this field. We hypothesized that a greater number of citations would be found for high-quality clinical studies. Methods: We searched the Web of Knowledge database for the 50 most-cited articles about SA and collected author name, publication year, country of origin, journal, article type, level of evidence (LoE), subject of paper, type of arthroplasty and metrics (number of citations and citation rate). Coleman Methodology Score (CMS) was computed for clinical articles. Statistical analysis of variance and correlation coefficients were used to investigate the relationship between different variables. Results: Out of the selected 50 studies on SA, 26% were nonclinical. There were 15,393 citations overall (mean 307.8), with a mean 19.5 citations per year (range 48.3-6.7). Thirty or 60% of all articles were LoE IV. All studies were published between 1984 and 2011 in 8 journals. Reverse SA (RSA) was the most common subject (36% of studies). The United States was the country responsible for most contributions (50% of studies). CMS ranged from 81 to 38 (mean 59.6). RSA received the highest number of citations ( Conclusion: In SA literature, citation rate positively correlates with methodological quality of a study, independently from publication country and LoE. Among most-cited papers, RSA is the most common standalone subject. |
