Research Hotspots and Trends of NK Cell Immunotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Bibliometric Analysis From 2000 to 2023.
Review in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 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
backgroundNatural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy has shown promising therapeutic potential for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially with advancements in chimeric antigen receptor-engineered NK cells (CAR-NK) and artificial intelligence (AI). Despite these developments, the field lacks comprehensive bibliometric analyses to identify research hotspots and trends, which could guide future precision treatments.
methodsA bibliometric analysis of NK cell immunotherapy for AML was conducted using literature from 2000 to 2023 retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data visualization tools like CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and RStudio were employed to analyze publication trends, country contributions, institutional collaborations, influential authors, and research themes.
resultsThe analysis identified 1513 studies, with the United States and China leading global contributions. Notable institutions include the University of Minnesota and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Hot topics include allogeneic NK therapy, CAR-NK cell therapy, and memory-like NK cells. Emerging trends highlight the integration of intelligent NK cells and combinatory therapies, offering promising avenues for AML treatment. Despite progress, challenges such as NK cell expansion, activation, and resistance mechanisms remain critical areas for research.
conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive overview of the research landscape, highlighting the transformative potential of NK cell immunotherapy in AML. It underscores the need for international collaboration and continued innovation to overcome existing challenges and advance precision therapies.
