Methods: The Web of Science database was queried for publications between 1971 and 2021. The articles were ranked from the most to the least citations, and each was reviewed by two authors. Results: The total citations ranged from 44 to 457, with a median (interquartile range) citation of 78.5 (60-140). Females were 28% of the first authors,about half the papers(52/100) were published in the last decade, most were observational studies (78/100)and the rest were nonoriginal studies. The impact factor of the journal weakly correlated with the number of citations(r [98] =0.24;p=0.018). Conclusion: Efforts are needed to encourage female authorship and increase the quality of articles in this subject area.
