A Bibliometric Analysis of Acupuncture Treatment of Postoperative Complications from 2003 to 2023.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

However, there has been no quantitative analysis of these literature. Therefore, in this study, the bibliometric method was adopted to analyze the relevant literature, thereby exploring the research hotspots and trends in this field. Methods: Through the web of science core database, we collected the relevant literature on the acupuncture treatment of postoperative complications from 2003 to 2023, used citespace software to analyze the author, publishing institution, country, keywords, references, cited journals and other information of these literature, and analyzed its research hotspots and research trends through a visual view. Results: A total of 213 articles were obtained, and the annual publication volume overall is on the rise, especially in recent years when the publication volume has surged. The field with the highest number of publications is Integrative Complementary Medicine. The most cited journal is Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The country with the highest number of publications is China, and the institution with the highest number of publications is Capital Medical University. The author with the highest number of publications is Zhu, Junchao. The most central cited author is LEE A. The articles with the highest frequency and centrality of cited references are published by Liu, Y. H. The most frequently studied keywords are acupuncture. Conclusion: This study systematically analyzes the current research status and hotspots of acupuncture treatment for postoperative complications in the past 20 years, which can help researchers grasp the current research direction and provide reference basis for further research.
