A bibliometric analysis of ultrasound-based evaluation in renal transplantation.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 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: Ultrasound is a widely used and effective imaging modality for evaluation in renal transplantation. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the research landscape and emerging trends in the use of ultrasound for renal transplant assessment. Methods: Relevant articles published between January 2010 and June 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS; Science Citation Index Expanded) and PubMed [randomized controlled trial (RCT)] databases using the keywords "ultrasound" and "renal transplant". Publications were screened by article type, language, abstract, and keywords. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were performed using VOSviewer and the bibliometrix R package. Results: A total of 268 original research articles were included. The analysis demonstrated a notable rise in research activity since 2020, accompanied by extensive international collaboration, with the United States identified as the leading contributor. Conclusions: Ultrasound remains a key research focus in the imaging evaluation of renal transplants, with substantial potential for future advancement. The increasing integration of ML with ultrasound-based techniques represents a promising direction, with the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making in renal transplant assessment.
