Global research on NK cells in miscarriage: a bibliometric study.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Background: This study aimed to assess the evolution, trends, and research hotspots of publications related to natural killer (NK) cells and miscarriage. Methods: The literature on NK cells and miscarriage was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze the publication years, countries, institutions, journals, highly cited authors, categories, and citation bursts of keywords. Results: A total of 1,275 articles were analyzed. The annual publication outputs showed steady growth, with the majority of publications in 2020 and citations in 2022. The number of publications in this field fluctuated from 1981 to 2023, with a slight downward trend observed. However, the number of citations increased steadily until 2023, followed by a minor decline. The United States contributed the highest number of publications and had the highest h-index. The American Journal of Reproductive Immunology ranked first in terms of number of publications and h-index. Reproductive biology, immunology, and obstetrics and gynecology were the most representative disciplines. Kwak-kim J, Chaouat G, and Croy BA were the top three most productive authors in the field. Keyword burst analysis demonstrated that the immune system and cytotoxicity receptors were current research hotspots. Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric study to comprehensively summarize trends and advances in the study of NK cells in miscarriage. This information highlights the recent research frontiers and emerging directions and provides a reference for subsequent research in the future.
