Research Trends in Dry Needling for Neck Pain Treatment: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Journal of chiropractic humanities, 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: The objective of this study was to analyze the published literature on the utilization of dry needling in the management of neck pain. Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis of publications from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022. Using the Scopus database, articles about the utilization of dry needling in neck pain were found. Scopus analyzer was used to obtain results such as "documents by year," "source," "country," and so on. VOS viewer Version 1.6.18 was used to analyze various units such as "co-authorship," "co-occurrences," and "citation analysis." Results: The search yielded 125 articles. Most articles were published in the years 2022, followed by 2021. A network analysis of various parameters reveals that the topic has a high research potential. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis offers an understanding of the literature on dry needling therapy for neck pain. The number of studies in this sector has increased over a decade. There is a gap in research from low- and middle-income countries on use of dry needling in the management of neck pain.
