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

introductionVitiligo is a common acquired depigmenting dermatosis resulting from a loss of epidermal melanocytes. The academic attention to vitiligo has gradually increased over the past two decades.

objectiveWe aimed to explore the current research structure and trends of vitiligo.

methodsPublications about vitiligo from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database were searched. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, GraphPad Prism 8, ArcGIS, and Charticulator were implemented for data description and visual analysis.

resultsA total of 3,037 publications authored by 10,993 individuals from 2,753 institutions across 88 countries/regions were collected. These publications were published in 616 journals and cited a total of 39,433 references. China was the most productive country. Cairo University and Ezzedine Khaled were the most prolific institution and author, respectively. Additionally, the British Journal of Dermatology stood out as the journal with the highest number of publications. According to the analysis of keywords and references, "quality of life," "depression," and "validation" were hotspots in terms of clinical characteristics, while "prevalence", "comorbidity," "association," and "immunotherapy" gained more research interest with respect to epidemiology and genetics. The frontiers of pathogenesis focused on "unfolded protein response," "migration," "biomarkers," and "CXCL10." As far as treatment is concerned, there was increasing attention to "janus kinase inhibitor," "fractional carbon dioxide laser," "platelet-rich plasma," and "5-fluorouracil."

conclusionThe bibliometric analysis elucidates the foundational knowledge structure on research forces and unveiled the hotspots and frontiers, aiding researchers in gaining a deeper comprehension of the future development trends in the field of vitiligo.
