Bibliometric Analysis of Anesthetic Drugs' Effects on Immune Function- Current Knowledge, Hotspots and Future Perspectives.
Article in Drug design, development and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: The objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the present status, areas of focus, and upcoming developments in the research of anesthetic drugs and their impact on immune function, along with other related research domains. Methods: From January 1, 2008 to June 9, 2023, A thorough exploration of anesthetic drug-related literature pertaining to immune function was carried out through the utilization of the Web of Science. The bibliometric analysis was predominantly executed by means of CiteSpace, GraphPad Prism 8.0, and the acquisition of data regarding the country, institution, author, journal, and keywords associated with each publication. Results: This study analyzed a comprehensive total of 318 publications, consisting of 228 articles and 90 reviews, to determine the publication output of anesthetic drugs on immune function. Notably, China exhibited the highest publication output with (109, 34.28%) articles. Among the institutions analyzed, Harvard University was found to be the most productive with (12, 3.77%) publications. The study findings indicate that Buggy, Donal J (5, 1.57%) and Yuki, Koichi (5, 1.57%) had the highest publication records. Anesthesiology was the most frequently cited journal with a total of (206) citations. The results also revealed that "surgery" was the most frequently used keyword, appearing (48 times), followed by "general anesthesia" (41 times) and "breast cancer" (37 times). The study has identified several current areas of interest, with a particular emphasis on "metastasis", "inflammation", "recurrence", "anesthesia technique", and "induction". It is anticipated that forthcoming research endeavors will concentrate on exploring the impacts of isoflurane, sevoflurane, and ketamine on immune function. Conclusion: This study provided a thorough analysis of the research trends and developments in investigating the impact of anesthetic drugs on immune function, incorporating pertinent research and collaborative entities such as authors, institutions, and countries.
