Global insights and knowledge mapping of immunity and inflammation in acute pancreatitis: A bibliometric and visual analysis.
Article in Medicine, 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.

Abstract
backgroundDespite extensive evidence implicating inflammation in the development and progression of acute pancreatitis, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis focused on this field remains scarce. We aimed to unravel the current research status and identify future directions in the study of inflammation and immunity in acute pancreatitis through a bibliometric analysis.
methodsRelevant literature was retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded Database of the Web of Science Core Collection. Data on countries, institutions, authors, journals, documents, references and keywords were analyzed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package "Bibliometrix."
resultsA total of 889 documents, including 845 articles and 44 reviews, published between 1979 and 2024 by 4814 authors from 948 institutions across 50 countries, were included. China (n = 397), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (n = 45), Henrik Thorlacius (n = 15) and Pancreas (n = 58) were the most prolific country, institution, author and academic journal, respectively. The top 10 most highly cited documents focused on intercellular adhesion molecule 1, neutrophils, inflammasome, and the association between early systemic inflammatory response or inflammatory mediator levels and patient outcomes. Keyword analysis indicated that "cytokine," "systemic inflammatory response syndrome," "apoptosis" were most frequent, while emerging keywords included neutrophil extracellular traps, exosome, pyroptosis, macrophage polarization, and NLRP3 inflammasome.
conclusionsThis bibliometric analysis suggests that the field of inflammation and immunity in acute pancreatitis is expanding rapidly, encompassing effector cells, mediators, signaling pathways, cell death mechanism, and corresponding clinical outcomes. Future directions may prioritize the pathological, diagnostic and/or therapeutic role of exosomes and pyroptosis to facilitate patient management.
