Scientific Knowledge Graph of Acupuncture for Migraine: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2000 to 2019.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveThis study aims to explore the trend and knowledge mapping of acupuncture for migraine through bibliometrics.
methodsIt retrieved the literature on acupuncture for migraine in the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2019, and then resorted to CiteSpace to conduct bibliometric analysis to attain the knowledge mapping.
resultsThe total number of publications each year has increased year by year, and the average annual growth rate from 2000 to 2009 was 15.57%, while from 2010 to 2019 was 6.35%, with a faster growth rate from 2000 to 2009. According to the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords, 10, 7, 12, and 10 categories were gained from 2000 to 2019. The most productive countries, institutions, and authors are the USA and China, Technical University of Munich and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Linde K and Liang FR from 2000 to 2019, whose frequency is 119/103, 28/24, and 28/24, respectively. However, the most important of them are Canada, Sichuan University, and Witt CM. Owing to their highest centrality, they are 0.86, 0.54, and 0.27 separately. Moreover, cited references that contributed to the most co-citations are Linde K (2005), yet, the most vital cited reference is Karst M (2001). Keywords such as migraine, acupuncture, headache, pain, and randomized controlled trial are the most frequently used. However, needle acupuncture is the crucial keyword. In the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords from 2000 to 2019, the largest cluster categories are #0 migraine prophylaxis, #1 randomized controlled trial, #0 episodic migraine, and #0 topiramate treatment. Then, randomized controlled trials of acupuncture prevention and treatment of migraine are the most important research content in this field.
conclusionThrough the bibliometric analysis of the research on acupuncture for migraine in the Web of Science database in the past 20 years, the trends and the Knowledge Graph of the country, institution, author, cited reference, and the keyword are acquired, which have an important guiding significance for quickly and accurately positioning the key information in the field.
