1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze the research hotspots, evolution, and developing trends in pediatric bronchiectasis over the past 20 years using bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to identify potential new research directions. Methods: Publications related to bronchiectasis in children were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2003 to 2022. Knowledge maps were performed through VOSviewer1.6.18 and CiteSpace6.1 R2. Results: A total of 2,133 publications were searched, while only 1,351 original articles written in English between 2003 and 2022 were incorporated. After removing duplicates, we finally included 1,350 articles published by 6,593 authors from 1,865 institutions in 80 countries/regions in 384 different academic journals with an average citation frequency of 24.91 times. The number of publications shows an extremely obvious binomial growth trend. The majority of publications originated from the United States, Australia, and England. The institutes in Australia, especially Charles Darwin University, published the most articles associated with pediatric bronchiectasis. In addition, Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis indicates that bronchiectasis in children has drawn increasing attention in the last two decades as its recognition continues to rise, providing scholars in the field with significant information on current topical issues and research frontiers.
