Analysis of tumor treatment under interventional ultrasound through structural and temporal dynamics: a bibliometric visualization.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Ultrasound is considered one of the most crucial tools for image-guided tumor ablation, and provides a vital alternative approach to tumor treatment. This study used bibliometric methods to characterize the development history of tumor treatment under interventional ultrasound and explore future research hotspots. Methods: In this study, we retrieved and selected publications on tumor treatment under interventional ultrasound from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database published from 1960 to 2023. In total, 2,588 articles were included in our study. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore various aspects of this field, such as global publication trends, institutional and author collaborations, high-impact journals, highly cited publications, and the evolution of research hotspots. Results: Our results revealed that the global publication output in this field has continuously increased over the past few decades with China and the United States emerging as the most active contributors and maintaining close collaborative relationships. Several institutions and authors, including Chongqing Medical University, had a high publication volume, high citation counts, and a high number of collaborations in this field. Journals like the " Conclusions: Based on our analysis, we found that the focus of research on tumor treatment under interventional ultrasound has shifted from the exploration of clinical applications to technological advancements and safety. This study also revealed the historical trajectory and identified future trends in this field.
