Global Trends and Research Hotspots in Social Isolation Among Cancer Patients: A Bibliometric Analysis (2005-2024).
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The psychosocial impact of cancer, particularly social isolation, has gained increasing recognition in oncology research. This bibliometric analysis maps the global research landscape and evolving trends in social isolation among cancer patients over two decades. Methods: We retrieved original research articles and review papers on cancer research associated with social isolation from Web of Science database between 2005 and 2024. Utilizing bibliometric platforms such as CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and bibliometric websites, we analyzed the annual publication trends, leading journals, countries, institutions, and authors in this field. Additionally, by analyzing keyword visualizations and keyword bursts, we identified the emerging and popular research areas related to social isolation in cancer research. Results: We systematically analyzed 1219 publications from 2005 to 2024. Globally, the United States accounted for the highest proportion of research output (34.78%), ahead of England (16.57%) and China (7.71%). In terms of institutional contributions, the top three positions were held by the University of London (58 publications), the University of California System (54 publications) and French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, INSERM; 52 publications). Conclusion: This study reveals accelerating global interest in cancer-related social isolation and highlights the need for multidisciplinary approaches that integrate biological and psychosocial perspectives in cancer survivorship care, particularly through targeted interventions for vulnerable populations.
