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: This study aims to assess the current research status of Chinese medicine research on treating allergic rhinitis (AR) using bibliometric methods, and to explore research hotspots and pinpoint future trends in this field. Methods: Articles concerning Chinese medicine for AR in Web of Science Core Collection databases were searched from January 1, 2004, to May 31, 2024. VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software were used to conduct descriptive analysis, including publications, authors, countries, institutions, journals, cited journals, cited authors, cited references, and keywords from various angles. Results: A total of 221 publications were included. Paper production has increased over the past 20 years, despite fluctuations. The most productive country is China, whose Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the institution with the highest number of papers. Germany's Brinkhaus, Benno has the most papers in the discipline, while Bousquet J is the most influential author. Medicine is a journal that has the most research on Chinese medicine for treating AR, while Allergy has the most citations. The most frequently cited reference is a guideline concerning the diagnosis and treatment of AR. The most common keywords are allergic rhinitis, asthma, effect, prevalence, and Chinese herbal medicine. Conclusion: This study assessed the research status of Chinese medicine for AR via bibliometric approaches from 2004 to 2024, which may be useful for researchers to identify hotspots and frontier trends in this field.
