Community-Based Palliative Care: A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Scientific Publications (2015-2025).
Review in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Community-based palliative care has been widely studied worldwide, yet the developmental trajectory of this field remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate current research focuses, emerging hotspots, and trends in community-based palliative care through bibliometric and visual analyses. Methods: This study involved bibliometric analysis, combined with visual knowledge mapping of the retrieved literature. Data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection for publica1tions from 2015 to 2025. Bibliometric networks were visualized using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The reporting framework for this study complies with the Preferred Reporting Items for Bibliometric Analysis guidelines. Results: Overall, 1,180 publications on community-based palliative care were examined. Annual publication output showed a continuous upward trend, with the United States contributing the largest number of publications (330 articles). The institution with the highest research output was the University of Edinburgh. Conclusion: Publications on community-based palliative care have increased steadily since 2015, indicating growing academic interest in the field. The United States and Western Europe lead this domain, supported by strong presence of prominent researchers and leading research institutions. Several cohesive, high-output author groups have emerged, reflecting the development of well-connected research collaborations. Although existing research primarily centers on four core topics, "interviews," "framework," "family physicians," "lung," and "dementia" may represent emerging research frontiers.
