Emerging trends and hotspots in lung-protective ventilation from 2006 to 2025: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 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
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) significantly contribute to perioperative mortality and morbidity worldwide. Lung-protective ventilation minimizes ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and improves outcomes, but implementation varies widely across individuals and practices. Enhancing patient outcomes can be achieved by comprehending the research trends and current hot topics in lung-protective ventilation. This bibliometric analysis evaluates publication trends and research focus in the field of lung-protective ventilation, aiming to highlight potential future research trajectories. Methods: The current publication trends and hotspots in lung-protective ventilation research from 2006 to 2025 were analyzed using the CiteSpace software, R package bibliometrix, Online Analysis Platform of Literature Metrology, and VOSviewer. Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) within the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was used to retrieve English articles. Results: A total of 818 articles focusing on lung-protective ventilation research from the past two decades were collected. The leading countries in this domain were the USA and China. The University of Toronto and Paolo Pelosi stood out as the primary institute and scholar, respectively. The top 10 primary clusters identified in the co-occurrence cluster analysis were coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), PPCs, extracorporeal CO Conclusions: Global publications on lung-protective ventilation research have experienced significant growth over the past 20 years, reflecting its clinical importance in critical care. This trend emphasizes the need for continued research into innovative strategies to optimize ventilation practices and improve patient outcomes while minimizing mechanical ventilation complications. Future research should prioritize patient-centered outcomes to translate scientific advances into practical improvements for respiratory disorders.
