The Effects of Music on Inflammation: A Bibliometric Study from 1989 to 2024.
Review in Journal of inflammation research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This bibliometric study maps the scientific landscape of research on music and inflammation from 1989 to 2024. Using Scopus data analyzed through Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, we examined publication trends, influential authors, thematic evolution, and co‑occurrence patterns of inflammation‑related biomarkers. The expanded search strategy incorporated biological mediators such as cytokines, IL‑6, TNF‑α, CRP, and cortisol to ensure comprehensive coverage of mechanistic literature. Results show a shift from early musculoskeletal‑focused studies to recent clinical applications of music in systemic inflammatory conditions. Co‑occurrence analysis highlights cortisol and stress‑related pathways as dominant research themes, while detailed music‑type reporting remains limited. This study identifies key research gaps and proposes standardized frameworks for future biomarker‑based investigations of music interventions.
