1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the evolutionary trajectory, identify research hotspots, and forecast future trends in botanical interventions for diabetic neuropathy (DN) from 2005 to mid-2025. Methods: We retrieved relevant publications from the Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed (2005 to mid-2025). After applying inclusion criteria and removing duplicates, 414 articles and reviews were analyzed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace and Bibliometrix to visualize publication trends, collaboration networks, and keyword dynamics. Results: Annual publication output exhibited exponential growth after 2020, peaking at 71 publications in 2024. China dominated the research output, followed by India and the USA, though international collaboration remained limited. Keyword analysis identified four major research hotpots: molecular mechanisms (e.g., oxidative stress, NF-κB), clinical translation, systems pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and signaling pathways. Burst detection revealed "network pharmacology" and "TCM" as the current research frontiers. Conclusion: Research on botanical interventions for DN is rapidly expanding, with a clear shift toward mechanistic and computational approaches. Future efforts should prioritize robust clinical trials, international cooperation, and deeper mechanistic studies to translate botanical potential into evidence-based therapies.
