Vitamin D and MAFLD: a bibliometric and visual analysis from 2007 to 2024.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Vitamin D plays a critical role in the mechanism of metabolic fatty liver disease. Emerging evidence suggests its potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Despite growing research interest, systematic analyses of this field remain limited. Purpose: This study conducts a bibliometric and visual analysis of literature on the link between vitamin D and metabolism-related fatty liver disease, mapping the research landscape, trends, hotspots, and frontiers to inform future investigations. Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was comprehensively explored for literature pertaining to metabolism-related fatty liver disease and vitamin D from 2007 to 2024. Using CiteSpace (v6.1. R6) and VOSviewer (v1.6.20) software, we evaluated publication trends, regional and national contributions, institutional outputs, journal allocation, author collaborations, reference citations, and keyword patterns. Results: A total of 480 publications were analyzed, demonstrating a consistent annual increase. China, the United States, and Italy emerged as leading contributors, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Capital Medical University, and Sichuan University being the most productive institutions. The most cited and prolific author was Ilaria Barchetta. Conclusion: This study provides insights into current trends and prospects in research on vitamin D and metabolism-associated fatty liver disease, focusing on insulin resistance, obesity, osteoporosis, and ACID. While the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation remains uncertain, the findings offer guidance for broader future studies.
