An article's scientific impact has often been measured by the number of citations it receives, and a citation analysis can help determine impactful works in medical specialties. The objective of this study is to describe the metrics and levels of evidence of articles in Charcot neuroarthropathy.
This study reviewed the top 100 most cited articles available when searching for articles in electronic database using the keywords "Charcot neuroarthropathy." Each article was examined for the number of citations, publication type, journal specialty, authorship, country of origin, year of publication, level of evidence, and total sample size.
The number of citations ranged from 20 to 490. The 100 most cited articles were published in 48 journals, spanning from general to more specific subspecialty journals. 19% of articles were published by the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery. The most common level of evidence was V (42 out of 100 articles), and most articles were literature reviews (n = 42) and case series (n = 27). The median sample size in experimental studies was 29. Out of 100 articles, only 5 were randomized controlled trials.
The median year of most cited publications, 2008, suggests a need for newer studies reviewing Charcot neuroarthropathy. The paucity of articles with an evidence level of 1 or 2 along with small median sample size suggests a lack of scientifically rigorous studies reviewing Charcot neuropathy. Identification of most cited papers about Charcot neuroarthropathy gives clinicians insight into the general scientific review of the disorder.

文章的科学影响力通常通过其被引用的次数来衡量，引文分析可以帮助确定医学专业领域的有影响力的作品。本研究的目的是描述夏科氏神经关节病相关文章的计量指标和证据水平。
本研究通过在电子数据库中使用“夏科氏神经关节病”等关键词搜索文章，对排名前 100 的最常被引文章进行了回顾。对每篇文章的被引次数、出版类型、期刊专业、作者、原籍国、出版年份、证据水平和总样本量进行了评估。
被引次数从 20 到 490 不等。这 100 篇最常被引文章发表在 48 种期刊上，涵盖了从一般到更具体亚专科的期刊。19%的文章发表在《足踝外科杂志》上。最常见的证据水平为 V 级（100 篇文章中有 42 篇），大多数文章为文献综述（n=42）和病例系列（n=27）。实验研究的中位数样本量为 29。在 100 篇文章中，只有 5 篇是随机对照试验。
大多数被引出版物的中位数年份为 2008 年，表明需要有更新的研究来回顾夏科氏神经关节病。证据水平为 1 或 2 的文章较少，中位数样本量较小，表明缺乏对夏科氏神经病进行科学严格审查的研究。确定最常被引的关于夏科氏神经关节病的论文，使临床医生深入了解该疾病的一般科学综述。
