Global Bibliometric Visualization of Epidermal Growth Factor in Wound Healing: A Comprehensive Literature Search.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is essential for both wound repair and the maintenance of healthy tissues. Numerous bibliometric studies have been published on wound healing; however, none have focused on EGF in wound healing. This study comprehensively analyzed scientific publications on the role of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in wound healing. The analysis encompassed publications indexed in the Scopus database from 1972 to 2024, retrieved using a broad range of relevant keywords. Network analysis and visualization were subsequently conducted using VOSviewer (v. 1.6.20) to map research trends and identify research hotspots. My examination of the Scopus database identified 3122 articles on the use of EGF in wound healing published over the past 48 years (1972-2024). Most of these publications were research articles (n = 2812; 90.07%), followed by review articles (n = 244; 7.82%). The number of publications on the use of EGF in wound healing has increased significantly (R
