Bibliometric Analysis on Global Analgesia in Labor from 2002 to 2021.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Maternal pain during labor is one of the most important factors contributing to increased cesarean delivery rates and poor pregnancy outcomes, and this pain can be managed by labor analgesia. Many studies exist on labor analgesia, and the quantity and quality of these studies have not been reported. Therefore, we aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of studies from 2002 to 2021. Methods: We used the Web of Science database to obtain publications related to labor analgesia from January 2002 to December 2021. Various bibliographic information was collected, including country; author; journal; grant; discipline; institution and research hotspot. A total of 4536 papers were included. Results: A total of 4536 articles were included in the study. The country with the most published articles on labor analgesia and the country of the funding agency was the United States. Most articles were published in the disciplines Anesthesiology and Obstetrics & Gynecology. The journal that published the most articles in this category was International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia. In addition, we found different research hotspots for labor analgesia in the United States, Japan, and China. Conclusion: This paper provides a bibliometric analysis of research on labor analgesia and highlights the differences in research hotspots for labor analgesia between countries.
