Global research trends of immunosenescence: A bibliometric study.
Article in Heliyon, 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: Immunosenescence, an age-related deficit in immunity, associated with multiple disorders and making the successful aging a challenge. Although nearly 4000 articles have been published, only few review articles have summarized the research status. In order to better understand the most recent advances, hotspots and development trends in immunosenescence, it is very necessary to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Hence, commonly used bibliometric analysis software CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to conduct a quantitative analysis and critical evaluation of publications in this study. Methods: Immunosenescence publications were screened from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Microsoft Excel 2021, CiteSpace 5.8.R3, and VOSviewer 1.6.17 were used for bibliometric study. Results: A total of 3875 publications were retrieved from WoSCC. After screening by document type (article or review) (352 publications were excluded) and language of English (85 were excluded), 3438 studies were finally used for bibliometric analysis. The literature on immunosenescence had been continuously growing since 1991, and by 2020 it has skyrocketed 312 publications from 240 in 2019. USA (1111 publications, 35.01%) was the leading country of publications, followed by ITALY (379, 11.94%) and ENGLAND (366, 11.53%). Of the authors, Pawelec G from the Tubingen University of GERMANY contributed the greatest articles (93 publications). All the keywords could be divided into five clusters, and additional potent visualization bursts revealed that "gut microbiota," "health," "dysfunction," and "nivolumab" were the active hotspots presently. Conclusion: Based on the current data, we firstly concluded that there will be a dramatically rising publications on immunosenescence, and research teams from USA or GERMANY might be the best chooses for collaboration. Moreover, We particularly emphasized the development potential of mechanism and intervening strateges like "gut microbiota" and "nivolumab" in immunosenescence. We hope to provide new ideas for promoting the basic research and clinical application of immunosenescence.
