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

purposeThis study aims to use bibliometric methods to explore the evolving landscape, hotspots, and emerging frontiers of pertussis vaccine research, providing deeper insights into the current research landscape and guiding future vaccine development efforts.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC) from January 1, 1994, to December 31, 2023, employing search terms related to vaccination (vacc* or immun*) and pertussis (pertussis, Whooping Cough, Bordetella pertussis, B. pertussis, Bordetella pertussis infection, or B. pertussis infection) in the Title or Author keywords fields. Bibliometrics analysis of pertussis research was performed utilizing the bibliometrix-biblioshiny package in RStudio, alongside CiteSpace and VOSviewer software.

resultsIn total, 2,623 records were analyzed, comprising 89.63% (n = 2,351) original research articles and 10.37% (n = 272) review articles. The study revealed that academic research on the pertussis vaccine was growing at a rate of 4.64% per year. The United States and Canada lead in the number of publications. GlaxoSmithKline and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention- United States emerged as leading institutions, with Halperin SA and Locht C as the most active authors. Vaccine was the most influential journal. Most studies focused on vaccine effectiveness duration, vaccination schedules for high-risk groups, and people's attitudes toward vaccination.

conclusionOur analysis showed increasing interest of researchers in pertussis literature, yet current research mainly emphasized expanding vaccine coverage and optimizing strategies, neglecting new vaccine development. This emphasized the need for prioritizing novel pertussis vaccines to tackle the resurgence challenge.
