Hotspots and scientometrics in gallbladder cancer surgery research: a bibliometric and visualization analysis (2014-2024).
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract, with significant geographical variations in incidence. The prognosis of GBC is generally poor due to its aggressive nature and late diagnosis. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment, but less than 10% of patients are eligible for radical surgery. Methods: This study utilized bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to analyze research trends and hotspots in GBC surgery from 2014 to 2024. Data were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection using specific search terms related to GBC and surgical methods. The analysis was performed using tools such as CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel to identify key authors, institutions, countries, and research themes. Results: A total of 479 publications were analyzed, showing a significant increase in research output and citation frequency over the past decade. China and the United States were the leading contributors to GBC surgery research. The analysis revealed six main research clusters, focusing on early diagnosis, surgical techniques, postoperative management, and the application of advanced technologies such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Conclusions: The study highlights the evolution of research priorities in GBC surgery, with a shift towards minimally invasive techniques and comprehensive postoperative management. Future research should emphasize international collaboration and the exploration of emerging technologies to improve patient outcomes.
