Global Research Trends in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2014 To 2024.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 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
backgroundTo assess an overview of research trends, influential studies, and collaborative networks in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), identifying key contributions and insights for future research directions.
methodsWeb of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric indicators such as publication counts, citation frequencies, authors, countries/regions, institutions and keyword occurrences were analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace and R.
resultsThe analysis included 419 publications from 2014 to 2024, with a total of 88,849 citations. These publications involved 22,141 authors affiliated with various institutions worldwide. the United States leading in research output, contributing 1,124 articles and 24,421 citations. Leading institutions included the University of Pennsylvania, the University of California System, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The most influential journals were Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and Critical Care Medicine. Yehya N, Thomas NJ, and Khemani RG are the most contributed authors. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed five major research clusters: neonatal outcomes, critical care strategies (e.g., mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO]), inflammation and immune mechanisms, respiratory support interventions, and diagnostic tools like lung ultrasound. Emerging trends focused on inflammation, molecular mechanisms, and diagnostic advancements.
conclusionThis study presents a bibliometric analysis of PARDS research, highlighting significant trends, influential studies, and collaborative networks. The findings provide valuable insights into the current state of research and future directions for advancements, emphasizing the need for continued investigation to improve clinical outcomes for children with ARDS.
