Research hotspots and trends of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation: a bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2023.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) is an emerging neuromodulation technique in recent years, which plays a role in nervous system diseases, psychiatric diseases, and autoimmune diseases. However, there is currently no comprehensive analysis of all the literature published in this field. Therefore, in this article, a bibliometric analysis will be conducted on all the literature published in the field of nVNS in the past 20 years. Methods: All articles and reviews published in this field from 2004 to 2023 were extracted from the WOS core database. VOSviewer 1.6.18.0, Scimago Graphica, CiteSpace 6.2.R2, and Excel 2021 were used to analyze the number of publications, participating countries, institutions, authors, references, and research hotspots in this field. Results: A total of 843 articles were included in the bibliometric analysis of nVNS. Over the past 20 years, the number of publications in this field has gradually increased, reaching a peak in 2023. The United States and China ranked top two in terms of publication volume, and institutions from these two countries also ranked high in terms of publication volume, citation count, and collaboration intensity. Rong Peijing is the author with the most publications, while Bashar W Badran is the most cited author. Articles in the field of nVNS were most frequently published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, while Brain Stimulation had the most citations. Currently, research hotspots in nVNS mainly focus on its application in diseases and related mechanisms. Conclusion: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the field of nVNS, clarifying the previous research directions, which is helpful to expand its indications and promote clinical application.
