Research trends in COPD-associated invasive pulmonary aspergillosis over the past two decades: a bibliometric and topic modelling analysis.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 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
backgroundThe timely diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-associated invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (COPD-associated IPA) have garnered increasing clinical attention. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field remains lacking. This study systematically reviewed diagnostic challenges and therapeutic strategies in COPD-associated IPA to identify current research trends and knowledge gaps, providing an evidence-based reference for clinical decision-making and future research.
methodsPublications related to COPD-associated IPA since 2003 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Multiple analytical tools, including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, the R package 'bibliometrix', and custom Python scripts, were used to examine publication trends, collaborative networks, major research themes, and emerging topics. Additionally, clinical case reports and studies published during the same period were extracted from PubMed to assess clinical advances.
resultsA total of 288 relevant publications from 60 countries were identified, of which 272 met the bibliometric inclusion criteria. An extended topic analysis based on the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model was performed on 14,567 records related to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The University of Manchester and Capital Medical University were identified as leading institutions. The Journal of Fungi had the highest publication output. Core research themes encompassed IPA, epidemiology, risk factors, intensive care units, diagnosis, and treatment.
conclusionsThis study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis of COPD-associated IPA publications from 2003 to 2025, delineating publication trends, collaborative networks, and core research themes. The findings provide evidence-based insights into research evolution and highlight priority areas, serving as a reference for future studies.
