Research Trends of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Drug design, development and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: This study seeks to identify research trends and hotspots concerning tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Methods: Publications on TKIs and EGFR-mutated NSCLC from 2006 to 2024 were analyzed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R-bibliometrix to visualize collaboration, keyword co-occurrences, and research trends. Results: A total of 962 articles were analyzed, authored by 7,458 researchers from 5,401 institutions across 208 countries. Wu Yi-Long was identified as the most prolific author, contributing 30 publications. AstraZeneca emerged as the industrial leader with 103 articles, while the New England Journal of Medicine was recognized as the primary journal with the highest total link strength. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed significant research topics including "gefitinib", "chemotherapy", "open label", and "erlotinib." Moreover, keyword burst analysis indicated notable periods of increased research focus on topics such as "osimertinib" and "liquid biopsy", suggesting emerging trends and current hotspots in the treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Conclusion: This analysis highlights research trends on TKIs for EGFR-mutated NSCLC, emphasizing the importance of targeted therapies like gefitinib and osimertinib for future research and clinical practice enhancement.
