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

Background: Alzheimer's disease is one common type of dementia. Numerous studies have suggested a correlation between Alzheimer's disease and inflammation. The inflammasome is the core of the inflammatory response and plays an important role in the inflammatory response. Currently, ample evidence has shown that inflammasomes are closely related to the occurrence and development of Alzheimer's disease. Objective: To explore the evolution and development trends of inflammasomes in Alzheimer's disease using bibliometric and knowledge mapping analysis. By identifying research hotspots and emerging topics, we aim to provide new insights and directions for researchers in this field. Methods: All data related to inflammasomes in Alzheimer's disease from 2000 to 2024 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), and annual publications, national publication trends, and proportion charts were analyzed and plotted using GraphPad price v8.0.2. Additionally, CiteSpace (6.2.4R (64-bit) Advanced Edition), and VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) were used to analyze and visualize these data. Results: A total of 1,128 publications related to the inflammasome in Alzheimer's disease were recorded in the WoSCC, comprising 738 articles and 390 reviews. The literature was mainly from 68 countries/regions and 1,545 institutions, particularly China ( Conclusion: The NLRP3 inflammasome is critical in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, the peak of related literature was in 2023, suggesting a potential decline in this research hotspot. There is an urgent need to explore new pathogenic mechanisms for AD. Clearly, this is an important direction that requires deep thinking and breakthroughs.
