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

objectiveTo analyze the development status and trend of related research in the health management of hyperuricemia and provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment.

methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted on hyperuricemia health management research data from 2000 to 2024 using the Web Science Core Collection database, PubMed, and SINOMED. A total of 789 articles were evaluated for specific characteristics, such as year of publication, journal, author, institution, country/region, reference, and keyword. The VOSviewer was used for co-author, co-occurrence, co-citation, and network visualization. Important sub-topics identified by bibliometric characteristics were discussed and reviewed.

resultsThe number of articles published in the last 24 years has generally followed a year-on-year trend, and the total number of papers published is increasing. Over 200 affiliations from 70 countries and regions contributed papers, and PLOS ONE has the highest number of linked publications. Dalbeth N, is the author with the most publications, with an H-index of 17. Hyperuricemia, gout, management, prevalence, allopurinol, risk, and other keywords were often used. Researchers formed mature teams, and the teams' study directions intersect and are comparable. However, these teams demonstrated a lack of communication and coordination.

conclusionsThis study highlights research hotspots, global cooperation models, and emerging frontiers in hyperuricemia, focusing on uric acid control, disease screening, health education, and epidemiological investigation in hyperuricemia-associated complications over the past two decades. However, there is still a lack of standardized management processes and systems, and the communication between research teams needs to be enhanced. Key Points • The study analyzed hyperuricemia health management research data from 2000 to 2024 using the Web Science Core Collection database, PubMed, and SINOMED, evaluating 789 articles and discussing key sub-topics using VOSviewer. • Over 200 articles from 70 countries, including PLOS ONE, have been published over the past 24 years, focusing on hyperuricemia, gout, management, prevalence, allopurinol risk, etc. • Our study outlines research hotspots, global cooperation models, and emerging hyperuricemia frontiers, emphasizing the need for standardized management processes and improved communication between research teams.
