Bibliometric analysis of colchicine in cardiovascular health: trends, key contributors, and global collaborations.
Article in Turkish journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/aim: The study aims to systematically analyze the body of literature concerning the effects of colchicine on the cardiovascular system, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the current knowledge and highlighting the clinical and scientific relevance of colchicine in this field. Materials and methods: Data were obtained from the Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, and PubMed databases on March 17, 2025. The search terms included "Colchicine" AND ("Cardiovascular Diseases" OR "Heart Diseases" OR "Coronary Artery Disease" OR "Myocarditis" OR "Pericarditis" OR "Atherosclerosis" OR "Heart Failure" OR "Myocardial Infarction" OR "Ischemic Heart Disease" OR "Acute Coronary Syndrome" OR "Cardiac Arrhythmias" OR "Thrombosis" OR "Stroke"). No restrictions were applied regarding publication date or language, ensuring the comprehensive retrieval of relevant data. Publications were categorized according to their document type and indexes. Additionally, a cooccurrence analysis of key words was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.18. Results: A total of 425 publications on the effects of colchicine on the cardiovascular system were identified, published between 1976 and 2025. There has been a significant increase in research since 2015. Most publications were in the Cardiac Cardiovascular Systems category. "Colchicine" was the most frequently used key word, appearing 170 times. The USA ranked first in publication count, with 163 studies. The USA, Italy, Canada, and China played significant roles in global research collaboration. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis demonstrates the increasing importance of colchicine as a therapeutic agent in the management of cardiovascular disease.
