Research trends on herpes simplex encephalitis in children: a bibliometric analysis from 1975 to 2024.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 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: Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in children represents a severe neurological condition with potentially lasting consequences. This bibliometric study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of global research trends, key developments, and emerging areas of interest in pediatric HSE. Methods: Literature research was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection, covering publications between 1975 and 2024. VOSviewer, CiteSpace and R 4.3.3 were employed for data analysis and visualization. Results: A total of 413 relevant studies were identified. The analysis revealed a consistent growth in research output on pediatric HSE, with the United States emerging as the leading country in both publication volume and academic influence. Institutions such as Rockefeller University and Université Paris Cité were major contributors to the field. Journals including Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis provides an overview of research progress in pediatric HSE, identifying key trends, influential contributions, and emerging focal areas. The findings offer valuable insights into the current state of the field and suggest directions for future research, with a particular emphasis on personalized therapeutic strategies in pediatric HSE.
