Bibliometric Analysis of Immigrants' Health Education: Research Status, Evolution, and Trends with CiteSpace.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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: Immigrants' health education (IHE) plays a critical role in improving the health status of immigrant populations, reducing public health risks, and promoting social integration. Over the past decade, IHE has emerged as a prominent research topic, with numerous studies exploring its specific characteristics; however, comprehensive overviews remain scarce. A detailed and systematic synthesis is needed to better understand the knowledge structure, thematic evolution, current research hotspots, and emerging trends in IHE. Methods: A bibliometric approach was adopted to analyze the knowledge structure, collaborative relationships, research status, and developmental trends in IHE. CiteSpace was used as the tool; the study further constructed a comprehensive knowledge framework for IHE, identifying future research directions and enhancing understanding of the field. Results: IHE research has developed rapidly, with 2984 publications over the past 20 years. Despite the complexity of regional and institutional collaborations, the United States has taken a leading role, accounting for 1196 regional collaborations with a centrality score of 0.2. Institutionally, the University of California System led with 196 collaborations. Journals with high co-citation frequencies generally showed higher impact factors; for instance, Social Science & Medicine was co-cited 1212 times with an impact factor (IF) of 5.2, and only two of the top ten journals had a 5-year IF below 3. IHE research includes medicine, education, and public health. The emergence of keywords such as "social determinants of health", "overweight", and "health equity" highlights the field's increasing specialization. Conclusion: Over the past twenty years, IHE publications have increased significantly, spanning various journal categories and journals. While institutional and regional collaborations were relatively strong, the authors conducted research independently. The findings indicate that IHE remains rich in research opportunities. Moreover, the results of this study offer a theoretical foundation for policymakers and a guide for advancing interdisciplinary practices in IHE.
