Changes in urologic research from a new perspective: Text mining analysis of publication topics.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 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
purposeThis study aimed to explore the trends in research keywords and topics in the field of urology based on text mining over the recent decades. The investigation looked into changes in frequent subject keywords and the trends in prevailing research topics, as reflected in representative urology journals over recent decades. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 27,129 bibliographic documents were collected from four urology journals, including
resultsThe study observed consistently increasing patterns in author keywords and topics related to the prostate and oncology. Conversely, research fields such as pediatrics, male infertility, voiding dysfunction, and cancer biology exhibited a downward trend in urology. Potential factors or reasons underlying these trends were further discussed in this study.
conclusionsThis exploratory study uncovered major research topics in the discipline of urology. The findings of this study depict the domain of urology research in recent decades, providing insights for both researchers and clinicians seeking to better understand the research trends in the discipline.
