Research trends of inflammation in autism spectrum disorders: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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: Inflammation has been recognized as a significant factor in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which have garnered increasing scholarly attention over the past few decades. This study aims to explore research trends related to inflammation and ASD through bibliometric analysis. Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on August 28, 2024. This study was restricted to literature published in English. The bibliometric analysis utilized VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" to visualize collaborations, keyword co-occurrences, and emerging research trends. Results: A total of 1,752 articles addressing inflammation and ASD were published, demonstrating a consistent upward trend in research output. The United States emerged as the country with the highest volume of publications. Saleh A. Bakheet was identified as the most prolific authors, significantly contributing to the literature with 54 publications. The University of California System was recognized as the most productive institution in this area of study. The journal of Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights the growing scholarly attention devoted to the relationship between inflammation and ASD. Significant contributions and emerging trends emphasize the pivotal role of neuroinflammation in ASD, indicating a necessity for further exploration in this domain.
