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

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that causes itching. While numerous studies on AD-related itch exist, a bibliometric analysis has not been performed on this topic. The study aimed to investigate research trends and hotspots in the field of AD-related itch over the last decade. Methods: We retrieved publications relevant to AD-related itch published from 2014 to 2023, within the Science Citation Index-Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection. We conducted a bibliometric and visual analysis involving annual publications, nations, institutions, journals, authors, co-citation references, and keywords by utilizing VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometric online analysis platform. Results and discussion: A total of 2534 articles and reviews were retrieved. Overall, the number of publications on AD-related itch has risen steadily over the past decade. The USA was found to be the most influential nation. Simpson et al. were found to be the most prolific author. Over the past 10 years, research has primarily revolved around barrier function, itching mechanism, sensory neurons, and therapeutic drugs for AD. The mechanisms of AD-related itch and advanced drugs are the current research trends. This study can serve as a foundation for further research.
