A bibliometric analysis of research trends and hotspots of pilocytic astrocytoma from 2004 to 2023.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is a WHO grade I neoplasm with a favorable prognosis. It is the most common pediatric benign tumor. Recently, PA has attracted more and more attention and discussion from scholars. The aim of this study is to comprehensively generalize the evolution of this field over the past two decades through bibliometric analysis and to predict future research trends and hotspots. The literature over the last two decades (2004-2023) related to PA was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Bibliometric analyses were conducted based on the following aspects: (1) Annual publication trends; (2) Publications, citations/co-citations of different countries/institutions/journals/authors; (3) the map of Bradford's Law and Lotka's Law for core journals and author productivity; (4) Co-occurrence, cluster, thematic map analysis of keywords. All analyses were performed on VOSviewer and R bibliometrix package, and Excel 2024. Our results showed that research on PA displayed a considerable development trend in the past 20 years. The USA had a leading position in terms of scientific outputs and collaborations. Meanwhile, German Cancer Research Center contributed the most publications. Child's Nervous System had the highest number of publications and Acta Neuropathologica was the most co-cited journal on this subject. Gutmann, D.H. and Louis, D.N. were the authors with the most articles and co-citations in this field. The research emphases were molecular mechanisms, neurofibromatosis, pilomyxoid astrocytoma, differential diagnosis, and therapy. We systematically analyzed the literature on PA from a bibliometric perspective. The demonstrated results of the knowledge mapping would provide valuable insights into the global research landscape.
