Bibliometric analysis of frailty in dialysis patients: knowledge mapping and trends.
Review in International urology and nephrology, 2026. 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
backgroundFrailty is a critical concern in the growing dialysis population. This study employs bibliometric analysis to map the knowledge landscape and identify research hotspots regarding frailty in dialysis patients.
methodsWe retrieved publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (January 1, 2007-February 8, 2025). After screening titles and abstracts, relevant articles were included for analysis. Using CiteSpace software, we visually analyzed authorship, institutions, countries, keywords, and burst keywords.
resultsA total of 243 articles were included. Annual publications showed a marked upward trend. The United States was the leading country, with Johansen K.L. and the University of California System as the most influential author and institution, respectively. Keyword analysis revealed four central research hotspots: (1) frailty assessment, (2) interventions, (3) adverse outcomes, and (4) frailty in elderly dialysis patients. The analysis of burst keywords indicates that frailty assessment and its link to all-cause mortality are the current research frontiers.
conclusionThis study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on research related to frailty in dialysis patients, revealing the research hotspots and trends in this field. It fills the gap in the panoramic view of frailty research in this high-risk subgroup and provides valuable references for future research in this area.
