Research trends and hotspots in robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery: a bibliometric and visualization study.
Review in Journal of robotic surgery, 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
Robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery has undergone rapid development in recent decades. Robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery, as examined through bibliometric and visual mapping, has its global research status, historical evolution, hotspots, and future trends systematically characterized in this study. Publications related to robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery covered three decades and sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). After screening, 234 articles and reviews were retained. Microsoft Excel 2019, VOSviewer, Scimago Graphica, CiteSpace, R software and the Bibliometrix package (R) served to analyze the authors, countries/regions, institutions, journals, keywords, references, and co-citation networks. The results demonstrated a sustained increase in annual publications, with the United States and China as the top contributors and Johns Hopkins University as the most productive institution. Co-citation analysis indicated that the intellectual base of the field is primarily centered on the technical feasibility, performance evaluation, and clinical translation of robotic ophthalmic surgery. Keyword and timeline analyses revealed three developmental stages: technology introduction, clinical validation, and intelligent technological development. Current researchers are more focused on subretinal injection, gene therapy, compliance control, and artificial intelligence. Future research should prioritize large-scale multicenter validation, multidisciplinary technological integration, and long-term follow-up promote the safe and widespread clinical adoption of robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery.
