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

Objective: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects the salivary and lacrimal glands and further leads to dry mouth and eyes. In recent years, knowledge about the treatment of SS is developing rapidly. This study aims to assess research progress on SS treatment using a bibliometric approach and to identify research hotspots and emerging trends in this area. Methods: The publications related to the treatment of SS were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database. The following search terms were used to extract document data: TS=(Sjogren* OR Sicca*) AND TS= (Treat* OR Therap* OR Disease Management). Articles and review articles published in English from 1900 to 2022 were selected. After the manual screening, the publication data were exported to a plain text file and applied for cooperative network analysis, keyword analysis, and reference co-citation analysis by using CiteSpace. Results: A total of 2038 publications were included in the analysis from 571 journals by 9063 authors. The annual number of published studies and times cited showed an overall upward trend since 1992. There was a degree of national/regional collaboration in this area, but direct collaboration between institutions and authors was still lacking. The country with the highest number of publications was in the United States, followed by China and Japan. Five SS-related treatments as the research hotspots were summarized by analyzing keywords and references, including immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory therapy, regenerative therapy, gene therapy, surgical treatment, and symptomatic treatment. Among them, B cells, T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), rituximab, belimumab, cell-target therapy, and immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory therapy were emerging trends in this field. Conclusions: This study conducted a data-based and objective introduction to the treatment of SS from a fresh perspective. An analysis of the intellectual bases, research hotspots, and emerging trends in the field will contribute to future research and treatment decisions, which will ultimately benefit SS patients.
