Current status and research hotspots of pediatric nephrotic syndrome: a bibliometric analysis (2011-2025).
Synthesis in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objectives: The study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of pediatric nephrotic syndrome (NS) and indicate its current status, hot spots, and directions of future studies. Methods: The literature data were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. CiteSpace, VOSviewer and Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix package) were employed to conduct a visualized bibliometric analysis of pediatric NS, including countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references. Results: A total of 2,873 publications from 2011 to 2025 were included. The number of articles in this field increased in recent years. China contributed the most articles (Publications = 452), but its centrality remained at 0.01. The institution with the most publications was Assistance Publique Hopitaux Paris in France (Publications = 77). Iijima Kazumoto ranked first with 58 publications. The keyword analysis revealed "nephrotic syndrome," "children," and "focal segmental glomerulosclerosis" as the most prominent keywords. Clusters including "nphs2," "bone mineral density," "glomerulonephritis," and "periorbital edema" emerged as current popular topics. The latest burst keywords included "leukocyte count", "lipoid nephrosis", "unclassified drug", "estimated glomerular filtration rate", and "alport syndrome". Conclusion: This study conducted a systematic bibliometric evaluation of pediatric NS, and clarified its current research status and identified future research hotspots and development trends. The exploration of novel immunosuppressants and the elucidation of complex pathogenic mechanisms remain enduring hotspots in the evolving landscape of pediatric NS.
