Evidence-Based Bibliometric Analysis of Acupuncture in Functional Dyspepsia: Clinical Efficacy and Research Trends.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Objective: The method of bibliometric analysis was used to visualize the literature data of the current research on acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia. Methods: By using the bibliometrix package in R4.4.1, all the research literatures related to acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of functional dyspepsia in the WOS core database were used, and the data visualization analysis of the retrieved research literatures was carried out. Results: A total of 489 research literatures on acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia were screened out. The earliest related research was published in 2009. After 2013, the research heat in this field increased rapidly, reaching its peak in 2022. The number of publications and citations related to acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia in China ranked first. Analysis of cumulative publication volume shows that from 2012 to 2024, JEVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDIC ranked first in cumulative publication volume. A total of 1841 authors contributed to this field. The top three authors were WU HG, LIU HR and LI Y. WU HG ranked first in author influence and citation frequency. The most frequently used keyword in the articles published by these authors was "irritable-bowel-syndrome". The high-frequency keywords in the literature on acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia were statistically analyzed. The top three high-frequency words were irritable-bowel-syndrome, followed by acupuncture and electroacupuncture. Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia related research was first published in 2009, the research heat increased year by year. The most authoritative author in the field of acupuncture treatment of functional dyspepsia is WU HG.
