Trends in peripheral nerve injury research: a bibliometric analysis focused on molecular mechanisms.

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
Objective: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) remains a significant clinical challenge due to its limited recovery outcomes. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial for improving therapeutic efficacy. This study aims to explore the current status, research hotspots, and development trends of molecular mechanism studies in PNI through bibliometric analysis, providing valuable insights for the development of more effective treatment strategies. Methods: Relevant literature on PNI and its molecular mechanisms published from January 1, 2005, to November 22, 2025, was retrieved from the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were utilized to analyze research hotspots and trends, generating visual maps of countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references. Results: A total of 1,799 publications were analyzed, revealing a steady annual increase in PNI-related research, with a significant surge after 2016. China emerged as the leading contributor, followed by the United States and Japan. Nantong University and Sun Yat-sen University were identified as the major contributing institutions, with Gu Xiaosong being one of the most influential authors. Key journals in the field include Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and trends in PNI molecular mechanism research, revealing key research areas and future directions. The advancement of bioinformatics technologies is expected to drive the development of future therapeutic strategies, offering new avenues for nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
