Global trends and hotspots in research for sudden hearing loss over the past two decades: a bibliometric and visualization analyses.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: This study aims to examine and visually map the characteristics, research hotspots, and emerging trends in sudden hearing loss research over the past two decades. Methods: A systematic search was conducted for English-language articles and reviews on sudden hearing loss published between 2004 and 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection. Using Citespace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix, we performed a comprehensive analysis and visualization of publications, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. Results: The analysis identified 2,513 publications, 565 journals, 3,341 keywords, and 8,818 authors. The annual publication output has slightly increased. China has been the leading contributor to sudden hearing loss research, with strong collaborative ties to the United States. Hallym University ranks at the top among institutions. The journal Otology & Neurotology has the highest publication volume, while Laryngoscope is the most frequently co-cited journal. Key terms such as "deafness," "sensorineural hearing loss," and "therapy" dominate the keyword landscape. The pathogenesis and treatment of SHL are at the core of this research field, while "recovery," "management," and "prognostic factors" are gradually receiving broader attention. Conclusion: This study compiles and analyzes studies related to sudden hearing loss over the past 20 years, and presents bibliometric-based visual data on the progress and hotspots of sudden hearing loss research to provide researchers with references to help guide future sudden hearing loss research.
