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

Introduction: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC) represents a prevalent and highly aggressive malignancy within the digestive system, characterized by an exceedingly poor prognosis and a dismal 5-year survival rate of below 7%. Gemcitabine (GEM) remains the cornerstone chemotherapeutic agent in the management of PC; however, the growing challenge of GEM chemoresistance, which undermines treatment efficacy, represents a significant obstacle in clinical practice. To date, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been undertaken to systematically explore studies on GEM resistance in the context of PC. This study aims to deliver a thorough evaluation of the research hotspots pertaining to GEM resistance in PCs. Method: A systematic search was conducted for articles published from 1 January 2010, to 15 December 2024, focusing on resistance studies of GEM in PC. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were performed utilizing VOSviewer and CiteSpace tools, applied to literature data extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Results: Between 2010 and 2024, a total of 2,689 papers were published across 472 institutions in 74 countries, reflecting a consistent upward trajectory in annual publication output. China and Fudan University emerged as the leading contributors to the research output on this topic, representing the most prolific country and institution, respectively. Giovannetti, Elisa, and Yu, Xianjun are the most prolific scholars in this field. Conclusion: This study provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the literature on GEM resistance in PC over the past 15 years. This analysis offers scholars critical insights into the field from a bibliometric perspective, potentially informing future studies on the development of chemotherapeutic treatments for PC.
