Mapping the lymph node metastasis landscape: A bibliometric Odyssey of papillary thyroid carcinoma publications (2012-2022).
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has become an area of great interest in the study of thyroid diseases. The aim of this study was to elucidate the research trends and impact of lymph node metastasis of PTC in the study of thyroid diseases through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Methods: We conducted an extensive bibliometric review of the literature on lymph node metastasis in PTC using the Web of Science Core Database (WOSCC), which included approximately 3292 publications from 2012 to 2022. Data analysis and visualization were performed, using advanced bibliometric tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and bibliometrix R software packages. Results: A total of 3292 publications from 81 one countries were identified. The analysis showed a pattern of growth in the number of publications per year from 2012 to 2022, with China having the highest number of papers. Outstanding contributions were made by China, Korea, USA, Italy and Japan, with Thyroid being the most important journal. The author who published the most papers was Jingqiang Zhu. The institutions that published the most papers were Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Yonsei University. The analysis found that prognosis, recurrence, and ultrasound were the keywords with the highest frequency of occurrence in addition to those related to the title of this article. Conclusion: Our bibliometric analysis outlines the current state of research on lymph node metastasis in PTC, highlighting significant contributions, trends, and future research directions.
