Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation therapy for papillary thyroid carcinoma: a bibliometric analysis from 2000 to 2023.
Article in Gland surgery, 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: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is increasingly treated with procedures. However, there is a lack of relevant systematic evaluation articles. Therefore, this study aims to explore the research landscape of PTC thermal ablation through bibliometric analysis. Methods: We searched publications related to PTC thermal ablation therapy from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023, from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Subsequently, bibliometric analyses were then performed using the R package "bibliometrix", as well as VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, to visualize data on countries, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, and references. Results: A total of 283 publications from 17 countries were retrieved, and the number of publications had shown a steady increase over the past decade, with China, the USA and South Korea being the top three contributing countries. The Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital was the most prolific institution, with the Conclusions: This bibliometric study comprehensively analyzed publications on PTC thermal ablation, providing valuable insights into the history and current status of this research field, while also offering guidance for future research directions.
