Two Decades of Health Initiatives in India (2003-2023): A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine, 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
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 609 publications on health initiatives and the Government of India using the Scopus database from 2003 to 2023. Findings indicate a significant upward trend in research, with a 50.24% annual growth rate. India and USA lead in global research output, with strong collaborations. Key journals and articles with high citation counts and H-index values were identified, with the Indian Journal of Medical Research being the most cited. Keyword analysis revealed four primary clusters: India, health programs, population groups, and communicable disease control. Recent research trends focus on "female," "adult," and "male" health, while "tuberculosis," "adolescent health," and "public health programs" and continue gaining prominence. Emerging topics include "middle-aged health" and "communicable disease control." India's health sector is transforming toward universal health coverage through policies like the National Health Policy 2017, aiming to increase public health expenditure to 2.5% of GDP by 2025. Key initiatives include expanding primary healthcare via Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, deploying Community Health Officers, and implementing digital health solutions under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. The AB-PMJAY scheme has significantly reduced healthcare costs for vulnerable populations, while CoWIN and investments in indigenous manufacturing demonstrate India's commitment to healthcare innovation. Limitations include reliance on Scopus, excluding PubMed and Google Scholar, and potential analytical constraints due to near-synonyms and duplicate entries. Despite these, this study offers valuable insights into India's health policy research, highlighting trends, collaborations, and emerging priorities. Future research should integrate multiple databases and advanced analytics to assess policy impact and regional disparities. This study serves as a foundational resource for understanding India's evolving health policy landscape.
