Bibliometric Analysis of the Research Status and Global Trends in Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Alzheimer's Disease from 2002 to 2022.
Article in Current neuropharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSeveral reviews on behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSDs) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have summarized the current state of this field, but global trends are unclear.
objectiveThis study utilized CiteSpace to provide a global overview of the current state of research on AD and its BPSDs and to predict future research trends in the field.
methodsData were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric and cooccurrence analyses were performed using CiteSpace software. In total, 787 valid publications were included in the analysis.
resultsPublications on AD and BPSD have shown an increasing trend since 2002. The United States and the University of Toronto were the countries and institutions with the highest total number of publications, respectively. Japan and China were the second and third most influential in the field. Clive Ballard was the top author in terms of the number of publications. Journal of Alzheimer's Disease had the highest number of publications on this topic. Co-occurrence analysis showed that AD, behavioral symptoms, cognitive impairment, and early markers are hot topics in this area. Non-drug management of BPSDs, pharmacological treatment, and physiotherapy will be a hot topic in this field in the future.
conclusionOur study visualized the relevant articles over the past 21 years to detect global hotspots and trends. Our findings may help researchers to identify research hotspots in this field and will help in the selection of appropriate research topics, while possibly leading to cross-regional cooperation.
