Knowledge mapping of autophagy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from 2004 to 2024: a bibliometric analysis.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has become a major global healthcare issue due to its high prevalence and mortality rates. Increasing evidence suggests that autophagy plays a role in the development of COPD, yet there is a lack of bibliometric analyses on literature related to autophagy and COPD. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the current research status, research direction, and research hotspots in the literature related to COPD and autophagy. Methods: A search was conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection for literature related to COPD and autophagy from October 2004 to October 2024. Subsequently, bibliometric and visualization analyses were performed on the included publications using R software, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. Results: A total of 481 published articles across 229 journals related to COPD and autophagy were included. During the study period, there was a trend of continuous growth in both the annual number of publications and citations in this field. The United States had the highest centrality, while China was the most productive country. Major research institutions included Maastricht University, Harvard University, and Jikei University. The American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Autophagy are the most influential journals in this field. The author with the most published papers is Araya J, while Choi AMK is the most influential author. Frequently appearing keywords include "oxidative stress," "obstructive pulmonary disease," "aging," "apoptosis," and "mitophagy." Conclusion: This bibliometric study helps researchers quickly understand the research overview of autophagy and COPD, thus providing new insights and directions for future research in this field.
