Global research trends in mind body therapies: a bibliometric analysis.
Review in Journal of translational medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesMind-body therapies are a group of treatments based on the theory of mind-body medicine, which are effective for a wide range of illnesses. However, there are no bibliometric papers that have examined the topic of mind-body therapies. Therefore, it is necessary to review and sort out the current status, hotspots and frontiers of mind-body therapies.
methodsStudies related to mind-body therapies during the period of Web of Science 1999-01/2024-07 were searched, and R language was applied to analyze the data and CiteSpace, Vosviewer software, was used to generate visualization maps.
resultsA total of 29,710 relevant articles were included in the study. The country with the highest number of publications was the United States, followed by China and the United Kingdom, and the prolific author was Wang Yuan. Common keywords were acupuncture, quality of life, depression, and pain. The current study focuses on the promotion and application of mind-body therapies in various diseases, the main applicable diseases and the application in special groups.
conclusionThis study presents the current status and trend of research on mind-body therapies, and inflammatory interventions and higher-level research assessment methods are potential hotspots, which can help researchers to clarify hotspots and explore new directions.
