Global trends and research hotspots in coronary revascularization for ischemic heart disease: a bibliometric analysis (2005-2024).
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
objectiveTo provide the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global scientific literature on coronary revascularization over the past two decades, mapping publication trends, influential contributors, collaborative networks, and the evolution of research hotspots.
methodsA systematic search of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was conducted for English-language articles and reviews on CAD revascularization published between 1 January 2005 and 30 September 2024. Bibliometric analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel, the bibliometrix R package, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. Key parameters included association strength (VOSviewer), Pathfinder pruning and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (CiteSpace), with core indicators (MCP ratio, H-index, link strength) integrated to ensure rigor. A PRISMA-style flowchart detailed the literature selection process.
resultsThe analysis included 372 publications from 55 countries. European countries led in publication volume, while the United States demonstrated high citation impact. Leading institutions included Erasmus MC, Imperial College London, and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. Serruys PW and Stone GW emerged as influential authors, with EuroIntervention, The Lancet, and Circulation as core journals. Keyword and citation analyses identified three dominant themes: comparative effectiveness of PCI vs. CABG, minimally invasive revascularization techniques, and technological innovations (e.g., OCT/IVUS, bioadaptable stents). Temporal evolution revealed a shift toward personalized strategies and AI-assisted intervention.
conclusionThis study provides the first comprehensive bibliometric synthesis of CAD revascularization research, highlighting global productivity, collaboration, and thematic trends from device optimization to personalized, strategy-oriented care. The findings offer a structured reference for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to navigate the field’s intellectual foundations and emerging directions.
