The research trends of macrophages in acute kidney injury: A bibliometric analysis.
Article in 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
objectiveIn recent years, the study of macrophages has gained prominence as a promising avenue for understanding the pathogenesis and therapeutic prospects of acute kidney injury (AKI). In this work, we utilize a bibliometric analysis to map the existing research landscape concerning macrophages in the context of AKI. We aim to provide valuable insights and scholarly references that can facilitate the advancement of comprehensive research and innovation in this field. Our goal is to provide valuable knowledge and academic sources that support the progress of thorough research and breakthroughs in connected fields.
methodsWe incorporated studies focused on macrophages in AKI that were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. All publications were exported in plaintext full-record format and subsequently analyzed using CiteSpace 6.4.R1 for bibliometric evaluation.
resultsA total of 1483 records meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The number of publications in the 1st 12 years was relatively low, but there was a notable increase in publications in 2019 and 2021. The research, encompassing contributions from 56 countries and 437 institutions, is led by China and US Department of Veterans Affairs. The authors with the highest number of publications are Hans-Joachim Anders and Mark D. Okusa, and Bonventre JV was the most frequently cited author. The journal with the highest number of co-citations is Kidney International. Prominent keywords in the literature include macrophages, inflammation, and extracellular vesicles. Keywords extracted from the analysis mainly focus on AKI, expression, acute renal failure, activation, inflammation, and macrophages.
conclusionThis research provides a comprehensive bibliometric evaluation, thereby enhancing our understanding of the current state of macrophage studies in AKI. As a result, it assists both experienced researchers and newcomers by facilitating quick access to crucial information and promoting the extraction of innovative concepts within this specialized field.
