A holistic investigation of the global outcomes of spontaneous pneumothorax during 1980-2021, including the COVID-19 pandemic A bibliometric approach.
Article in Medicine, 2022. 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
backgroundDuring coronavirus pandemic, despite the increase in the number of studies on spontaneous pneumothorax (SP), there is not enough bibliometric study in the literature. In this study, it was aimed to analyze scientific articles published on SP.
methodsStudies published on SP between 1980 and 2021 were obtained from the Web of Science database and analyzed using statistical and bibliometric methods. Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation studies. The exponential smoothing estimator was used to forecast publication trend for coming years. Network visualization maps were used to analyze citations and identify trending topics.
resultsA total of 2422 publications were found. 1403 (57.9%) of these publications were articles. The articles on SP have increased with a non-linear trend in recent years. The top 5 contributors to the literature were USA (231, 16.4%), Japan (161, 11.4%), United Kingdom (98, 6.9%), France (81, 5.7%), and Taiwan (78, 5.5%). The top 3 most active institutions were National Taiwan University Hospital (22, 1.5%), Catholic University Korea (19, 1.3%), and National Taiwan University (19, 1.3%). The top 3 journals that published the most articles were Chest (51), Annals of Thoracic Surgery (46), and Journal of Thoracic Disease (45). The most studied subjects were primary SP, recurrence, thoracoscopy, pleurodesis, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, COVID-19, video-assisted thoracic surgery, chest tube(s), and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. According to trend topics analysis, the keywords studied in recent years are COVID-19, chest tubes, pneumonia, subcutaneous emphysema, risk factors, dyspnea, primary SP, FLCN gene, tension pneumothorax, uniportal, postoperative recurrence, secondary spontaneous pneumothorax, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and uniportal.
conclusionIn this comprehensive bibliometric study, we summarized 1403 articles about SP, which has an increasing trend in the number of articles during the COVID-19 pandemic process. This article can be a useful resource for clinicians and scientists through presenting a summary of worldwide studies related to SP, including the ones during COVID-19 pandemic.
