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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of self-renewal and differentiation, and extensive studies have demonstrated their therapeutic potential in atherosclerosis (AS).

aimTo conduct a bibliometric analysis of studies on the use of MSC therapy for AS over the past two decades, assess key trends and provide insights for future research directions.

methodsWe systematically searched the Web of Science Core Collection database for articles published between 1999 and 2023, yielding a total of 556 articles. Visual representation and bibliometric analysis of information and trends were facilitated using CiteSpace, the R package 'bibliometrix' and VOSviewer.

resultsThe analyzed articles were predominantly from 52 countries/regions, with prominent contributions from China and the United States. A cohort of 3057 authors contributed to these publications, with the works of Libby P distinguished by their influence and citation count.

conclusionThis comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for advancing scientific research on MSC therapy for AS. By elucidating pivotal trends and research directions, this study aimed to foster innovation and promote the progress of disciplines in this field, thereby contributing to advancing scientific knowledge and clinical practice.
