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

backgroundFibrosis is the ultimate, common pathological ending of most chronic inflammatory diseases and increases the chances of developing life-threatening illnesses. Pyroptosis, a newfound form of lytic programmed cell death initiated by the inflammasome, has received more and more attention because of its association with fibrotic diseases. Therefore, this study visualizes the connection between pyroptosis and fibrosis research through bibliometric methods, aimed at providing global research hits and tendencies in the field.

methodsWe collected and analyzed the articles on pyroptosis and fibrosis from 2010 to 2024 via Web of Science. Visual data analysis was performed for countries, institutions, authors, references, and keywords in the field using VOSviewer, CiteSpace software, the "Bibliometrix" R package, the bibliometric website ( https://bibliometric.com/ ), and Excel software. We analyzed the data by utilizing the bibliometric review method.

resultsA total of 566 articles and reviews relating to pyroptosis and fibrosis were identified in the Web of Science. The number of publications in the domain has continued to grow since 2010. These scientific outputs were mainly from 129 countries/regions and 1919 institutions, particularly China (n = 423) and the USA (n = 83). More importantly, although China publishes a vast majority of articles, its centrality is lower than that of the USA (0.59 vs 0.61). Among the 3833 authors involved in this field, Feldstein, A. E. is the most prolific author. Shi, J. J. is the world's most-cited author among the 12,143 authors in these academic journals. Frontiers in Immunology was a prolific contributor, and Nature was the most frequently cited journal. After analysis, Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death were the top-cited articles. The analysis of keywords displayed that pyroptosis, fibrosis, and pathways were the main research hotspots and frontier directions in recent years.

conclusionWe analyzed the characteristics of published articles and drew a fundamental knowledge structure on pyroptosis and fibrosis research via bibliometric analysis. The potential mechanism between fibrosis and pyroptosis is deeply tied to the current moment. Our findings can help researchers make clear the research status and value of fibrosis and pyroptosis and provide new directions for future research as soon as possible.
