Research trends and hotspots in viral neglected tropical diseases: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Future microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe World Health Organization's "2021-2030 Strategic Plan for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)" spotlights 21 NTDs, including three viral pathogens: Dengue, Rabies, and Chikungunya. These diseases, prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, pose a global health threat driven by globalization. Comprehending their research trends and hotspots is vital. Hence, this bibliometric analysis aims to reveal the global research landscape and guide future strategies of viral NTDs.
methodsData from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was analyzed for the period 2014-2023, focusing on publications related to Dengue, Rabies, and Chikungunya. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were carried out using VOSviewer, Bibliometrix in RStudio, and CiteSpace to generate descriptive statistics and identify latent thematic structures.
resultsThe analysis covered 13,472 publications from 184 countries/regions, involving 12,219 institutions/organizations, published across 1,673 journals by 56,733 researchers. An upward trend in annual publication output was seen from 2014 to 2021, peaking at 1,534 articles in 2021, followed by a significant drop. Bibliometric indicators were used to identify core journals, prolific authors, leading institutions, dominant countries, and emerging research themes.
conclusionThe study offers valuable insights and practical guidance for researchers in the domain of viral NTDs.
