Global production and research trends on precocious puberty in the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2023: A bibliometric approach.
Article in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionPrecocious puberty is a pathology whose primary aetiology is still unknown; research and approach topics could guide physicians and academics to develop investigations towards knowledge trends. AIM OF THE STUDY: The objective of this study was to perform a cienciometric analysis using the Web of Science platform during the period 2000-2023 regarding precocious puberty worldwide. MATERIAL AND
methodsA search formula was devised to capture documents on the Web of Science platform, including original studies, consensus, and reviews for analysis. Information on journals and documents was also manually collected by extracting data on the journal quartile or open access to the document.
resultsA total of 3,556 documents were analysed; the research trend during the study period showed steady growth, with the United States being the most prolific country. The People's Republic of China had significant growth, particularly in the last 10 years of analysis. Emerging topics since 2020 were "COVID-19", "dlk1", and "mkrn3". The most cited article is a narrative review with 1,038 citations at the time of the search and is open access article.
conclusionsResearch on precocious puberty shows growth during the study period, with new research topics that can guide physicians and researchers in the direction of their future studies. A bibliometric analysis on more specific aspects of precocious puberty could provide better guidance to researchers.
