A global bibliometric and visualized analysis of bacteria-mediated cancer therapy.

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
Bacteriotherapy has proved to be a powerful tool to fight against cancer. Herein, we used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Python to perform the first global bibliometric analysis of the literature from 2012 to 2021 on bacteria-mediated cancer therapy. Based on the results, East Asia and North America contributed the most publications to this research area. Additionally, the keyword analysis indicated that immunotherapy and nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems have long been popular topics in cancer bacteriotherapy, whereas the gut microbiota and probiotics are emerging research hotspots. This study provides crucial insights into the historical development of bacteria-mediated cancer therapy from 2012 to 2021, which will be helpful for scientists to conduct further investigation into this promising field.
