Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends and Knowledge Structure in Oral Frailty.
Review in Gerodontology, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to construct a knowledge map of oral frailty research to visualise current research status and hotspots, thereby facilitating further advances and innovations in this field.
methodsWe retrieved relevant literature published between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2025, from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) databases. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace software to examine publication trends, geographical distribution, journal sources, keyword co-occurrence and citation patterns.
resultsThe analysis included 83 Chinese and 596 English publications. The annual publication count exhibited a fluctuating upward trend, with Japan producing the highest number of studies, followed by China. International research primarily focused on the association between older oral health and systemic health outcomes, whereas Chinese studies emphasised oral health issues and their determinants in ageing populations. The research paradigm transitioned from conceptual frameworks to clinical applications and multidimensional intervention strategies.
conclusionThis study systematically outlined current progress in oral frailty research, highlighting its connections with frailty syndrome and malnutrition. Future research should prioritise in-depth needs assessment, integrate international best practices, promote interdisciplinary collaboration and develop personalised oral health interventions to improve geriatric oral health outcomes.
