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

Purpose: The prevalence of comorbid pain and Bipolar Disorder in clinical practice continues to be high, with an increasing number of related publications. However, no study has used bibliometric methods to analyze the research progress and knowledge structure in this field. Our research is dedicated to systematically exploring the global trends and focal points in scientific research on pain comorbidity with bipolar disorder from 2003 to 2023, with the goal of contributing to the field. Methods: Relevant publications in this field were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection database (WOSSCC). And we used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "Bibliometrix" for bibliometric analysis. Results: A total of 485 publications (including 360 articles and 125 reviews) from 66 countries, 1019 institutions, were included in this study. Univ Toront and Kings Coll London are the leading research institutions in this field. J Affect Disorders contributed the largest number of articles, and is the most co-cited journal. Of the 2,537 scholars who participated in the study, Stubbs B, Vancampfort D, and Abdin E had the largest number of articles. Stubbs B is the most co-cited author. "chronic pain," "neuropathic pain," "psychological pain" are the keywords in the research. Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric analysis of pain-related bipolar disorder. There is growing interest in the area of pain and comorbid bipolar disorder. Focusing on different types of pain in bipolar disorder and emphasizing pain management in bipolar disorder are research hotspots and future trends. The study of pain related bipolar disorder still has significant potential for development, and we look forward to more high-quality research in the future.
