Bibliometric Analysis of Curcumin Based on CiteSpace: Landscapes, Hotspots, and Frontiers.
Review in Drug design, development and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric, has garnered significant interest for its wide range of pharmacological properties. In this study, CiteSpace was used to visually analyze curcumin-related publications to elucidate the current landscape and explore emerging frontiers in curcumin research. In total, 23,184 publications on curcumin from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, were scrutinized. The analysis revealed that publication volume consistently increased over time. The top 10 countries contributed 90.87% of the publications, highlighting the global significance of curcumin research. China generated 31.34% of the total corpus due to its strong research capabilities and traditional medicine culture. The top 10 institutions contributed 11.21% of the articles, revealing notable collaborations. Among the prolific authors, Amirhossein Sahebkar produced 246 publications, whereas Preetha Anand garnered the most citations. Keyword analysis revealed prevalent trends such as "fabrication", "combination", "extract", "natural products", "colorectal cancer", and "resveratrol". Reference analysis emphasized research on therapeutic and modulatory effects, anticancer potential, and interdisciplinary topics, such as molecular biology, chemistry, and nutrition. More importantly, we simplified cluster relationships by selecting the top 30% of cluster dependency paths. For instance, the references within the #1 polymeric micelle cite literature from the #2 anticancer potential, #3 modulatory effect, and #4 therapeutic effect, indicating that clusters 2, 3, and 4 serve as knowledge foundations for cluster 1. This interconnectedness highlights how the information in these clusters can contribute to the knowledge of curcumin in various studies. This study provides an overview of the research trends and critical themes related to curcumin, offering insights for future research directions and emphasizing the interdisciplinary and global scope of curcumin research.
