Quantifying research hotspots and trends in brucella spondylitis: a bibliometric analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Human brucellosis is the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide, with brucella spondylitis (BS) being one of its most severe forms, potentially leading to spinal deformity or paralysis. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and research trends in the BS field using bibliometric methods. Methods: Publications on BS from January 1, 1980, to March 24, 2024, were retrieved from the Web of Science database. We used Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, Scimago Graphica, CiteSpace, and Microsoft Office Excel Professional Plus 2016 to analyze publication frequency, geographic distribution, institutional affiliations, international collaborations, authorship, journal sources, keyword usage, trends, and cited references. Results: Between January 1, 1980, and March 24, 2024, 197 publications on BS were analyzed. Turkey emerged as the leading contributor, with 62 publications, accounting for 31.47%. Weibin Sheng was the most prolific author, contributing 7 papers (3.55%). Xinjiang Medical University was the leading institution with 13 documents (6.60%). Conclusion: There has been significant progress in BS research, with a steady increase in publications. Current research focuses on diagnosis and complications, while future studies may explore management and instrumentation. Increased collaboration among countries and researchers is recommended.
