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

introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) remains a serious threat to humans worldwide. In this study, we used bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature to assess the trends and prospects of nanotechnology applications in CRC. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe used the Web of Science Core Collection database to screen relevant publications on nanotechnology and CRC from 2004 to 2023 based on the inclusion criteria. Bibliometric analyses were performed on all selected publication and citation data. Visual analysis using VOSviewer and CiteSpace intuitively reflected the hotspots in this field.

resultsIn total, 2040 publications on nanotechnology in CRC were identified for this two-decade analysis. China (443, 29.14%) and the USA (199, 13.09%) were the top two most productive countries, and Sichuan University was the most prolific institution. The most influential journal was the International Journal of Nanomedicine. The author with the most papers was Li L. "Nanoparticles," "drug delivery," and "CRC" were the most common keywords. Green synthesis and gold nanoparticles were peripheral, incompletely developed topics.

conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive overview of nanomaterials in CRC as clinical medicine, enriching the body of evidence in this field.
