Bibliometric analysis of global research on air pollution and cardiovascular diseases: 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 6 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: The relationship between air pollution and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has garnered significant interest among researchers globally. This study employed bibliometric analysis to provide an overview of current research on the association between air pollution and CVDs, offering a comprehensive analysis of global research trends in this area. Methods: An exhaustive scrutiny of literature pertaining to the nexus between air pollution and CVDs from 2012 to 2022 was conducted through rigorous screening of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Publications were exclusively considered in English. Subsequently, sophisticated analytical tools including CiteSpace 6.2.4R, Vosviewer 1.6.19, HistCite 2.1, Python 3.7.5, Microsoft Charticulator, and Bibliometrix Online Analysis Platform were deployed to delineate research trends in this domain. Results: The analysis of the dataset, comprising 1710 documents, unveiled a consistent escalation in scientific publications, peaking in 2022 with a total of 248 publications. Moreover, Environmental Science and Toxicology stood out as the predominant categories. Examination of keyword frequency highlighted the terms 'air pollution', 'cardiovascular disease', and 'particulate matter' as the most prevalent. Notably, the most prolific entities, in terms of authors, journals, organizations, and countries, were identified as Robert D. Brook, Environmental Health Perspectives, Harvard University, and the United States, respectively. Conclusion: The findings presented a notable increase in high-quality publications on this topic over the past 11 years, suggesting a positive outlook for future research. The study concluded with an examination of three key themes in research trends related to air pollution and CVDs: the initial physiological response to pollutant exposure, the pathways through which pollutants are transmitted, and the subsequent effects on target organs. Additionally, various air pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitric dioxide, and ozone, could contribute to multiple CVDs, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Although some hypotheses have been put forward, the mechanisms of air pollution-related CVDs still need to be explored in the future.
