1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) and sepsis are critical clinical conditions associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite growing research interest, there remains a need for a comprehensive analysis of global research trends in this field. Bibliometric analysis offers a quantitative approach to assessing the evolution of scientific knowledge, collaborative networks, and emerging research areas over time.

objectiveThis study aims to map the global landscape of research on AKI and sepsis over the last two decades (2004-2024), identify major contributors, collaboration networks, key research trends, and highlight gaps in the literature.

methodsWe conducted a bibliometric analysis of research articles from leading databases. The study utilized network visualization techniques to assess co-authorship, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence, focusing on the most influential countries, institutions, and research collaborations.

resultsResults reveal China leads in publication volume, yet countries like the United States and Australia show higher international collaboration rates and citation impact. Additionally, thematic analyses highlight critical research areas, including biomarkers, bioenergetics, inflammation, and machine learning, marking significant advancements in the understanding and management of AKI.

conclusionThis bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of AKI and sepsis research, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts to address knowledge gaps and ensure evidence-based care across diverse healthcare settings. Future research should prioritize the development of biomarkers and the integration of AI-driven technologies to enhance early diagnosis and personalize treatment strategies for AKI patients.
