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

Purpose: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health concern, linked to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV genome integration into host DNA is critical in disease progression and oncogenesis. Despite advancements in understanding HBV pathogenesis and therapies, the mechanisms and implications of HBV integration remain unclear. This study employs bibliometric analysis to evaluate research trends and collaborations in HBV integration. Materials and Methods: We utilized the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) as our primary data source, meticulously screening and identifying 972 pertinent articles published between 1980 and November 30, 2024. Bibliometric tools, including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix, were employed to analyze publication trends, authorship, institutional contributions, and key research areas. Citation data and keyword clusters were examined to identify research hotspots. Results: Publications have steadily increased from 1980 to November 30, 2024, with China and the United States contributing the most studies. While China leads in publication volume, the United States has the highest citation impact. The Institut Pasteur in Paris ranks highest in publications. Hino O is the most prolific author, and Koike K the most cited. Hepatology is the most cited journal, and the article "Genome-wide survey of recurrent HBV integration in hepatocellular carcinoma" is the most referenced. Cluster analysis revealed five major research themes. Conclusion: This study highlights global research trends and key contributors in HBV integration, offering insights into current hotspots and future directions. The findings provide a basis for advancing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting HBV integration.
