1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: To conduct a bibliometric analysis to quantify and identify the current status and trends of acromegaly research in the past two decades. Materials and methods: Articles related to acromegaly that were published from 1999 to 2022 were retrieved through the Web of Science core collection (WoSCC) database. Then, they were imported into VOSviewer and CiteSpace to conduct a visualization analysis of authors, countries, institutions, citation numbers, cocitations, keywords, and references. Results: A total of 3,909 articles were identified in the study. Among them, the United States made the largest contribution to the field. Moreover, Colao A. was the most prolific author, and the University of Naples Federico II was the institution with the most publications. In addition, the Conclusion: Studies related to acromegaly have shown stable stepwise growth over the past two decades. Interestingly, the research focus after 2016 gradually shifted from the etiology, mechanism, medications for treatment, and complications to improving prognosis and quality of life of patients with acromegaly. The current findings may provide guidance for further research in the field of acromegaly.
