Emerging trends and hot spots in hypothyroidism research from 2010 to 2025: A bibliometric analysis.
Article in Medicine, 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
backgroundResearch in hypothyroidism has expanded significantly in the last decade, resulting in a vast array of studies that pose challenges in comprehensive review and assessment. Bibliometric methodologies serve as quantitative tools to analyze and understand the current research progress and focal areas within this field.
methodsA systematic search was conducted for articles and reviews pertaining to hypothyroidism within the Core Collection database of Web of Science from 2010 to 2024. Utilizing bibliometric software, notably visualization of similarities viewer and CiteSpace, we performed analyses to assess the contributions, co-occurrence relationships among various references, countries/regions, institutions, journals, and keywords associated with hypothyroidism research.
resultsThis study encompassed 16,274 English-language papers published across 2504 journals, originating from 10,616 institutions in 137 countries/regions. Notably, the quantity of hypothyroidism-related publications has exhibited a consistent upward trajectory over the past decade, underscored by robust international collaboration. The United States emerged as the leading contributor in terms of publication count and demonstrated a high concentration of prolific research institutions. The journal "THYROID" prominently featured as the primary publication source for hypothyroidism research, having disseminated several pivotal treatment guidelines within this domain. Recent research has notably spotlighted specific subsets, such as hypothyroidism during pregnancy. Moreover, recent trends have steered focus towards metabolic ailments associated with hypothyroidism, encompassing diabetes, obesity, and exploring the role of dietary supplements.
conclusionLeveraging bibliometric tools enables an objective and comprehensive analysis of pertinent data, shedding light on the evolving dynamics within the field of hypothyroidism research.
