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

backgroundMatrix remodeling-associated 7 (MXRA7) plays a key role in physiological and pathological processes involving the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue remodeling. Recent studies have highlighted its functions in tissue injury, immune response, and cellular differentiation, yet no bibliometric studies have systematically mapped MXRA7 research. This study evaluates global MXRA7 research from 2015 to 2024 to identify current trends and future directions.

methodsA comprehensive bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection. We examined publication trends, geographical contributions, influential authors, and high-impact journals, identifying research hotspots and emerging trends with advanced bibliometric tools.

resultsAnalysis of 553 English-language publications showed that MXRA7 research has progressed significantly after 2017, showing a general upward trend accompanied by short-term fluctuations. The United States leads, followed by China and the United Kingdom. Key studies appear in high-impact journals like PLOS ONE, and influential authors such as Frangogiannis NG have propelled the field. Keywords including "inflammation", "extracellular matrix", "matrix metalloproteinases" and "angiogenesis" underscore MXRA7's roles in immune responses, tissue repair, and fibrosis.

conclusionThis analysis shows significant growth in MXRA7 research, especially in inflammation, ECM remodeling, and tissue regeneration. Future work should explore MXRA7's molecular mechanisms in immune diseases, fibrosis, and cancer, advancing its potential as a therapeutic target.
