Global research on the utilization of population pharmacokinetic model: a bibliometric analysis from 2000 to 2024.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objective: Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model is capable of identifying the factors that influence the variability of pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles and the degree of their influence, effectively reduces unexplained variability, and demonstrates excellent predictive ability. PPK model has been successfully constructed in several populations for a variety of drugs. However, no study has yet conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications related to the PPK model. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research progress and hotspots in the field of PPK model research through bibliometric methods. Methods: A systematic search of the Web of Science database was conducted to collect articles and reviews related to the PPK model between 2000 and 2024. We then analyzed the data using Bibliometrix R package, Microsoft Office Excel, CiteSpace and VOSviewers. Results: Between 2000 and 2024, we identified a total of 6,125 papers and 128,856 citations. The average annual growth rate of the relevant publications was 10.35%, showing continued growth momentum. These research outputs are concentrated in North America, Western Europe, and East Asia, with USA leading the way with 2,340 publications and having the highest H-index (93) and total citations (54,965). Uppsala University and Conclusion: This study is the first comprehensive overview of the development of PPK model and research hotspots using bibliometric methods. Our findings provide researchers, especially beginners, with insights into the application area of PPK model, helping them to grasp key information in the field.
