Global research progress on obstructive sleep apnea in the field of radiological imaging: bibliometric and visualization analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Background: This study aims to assess the intersection of OSA with radiological imaging through bibliometric analysis, exploring research trends and emerging hotspots to identify future research directions. Methods: This study conducted a literature search for publications related to OSA and radiological imaging from 2004 to 2023 in the Web of Science database. We utilized tools such as CiteSpace, R language, and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis to explore key trends and hotspots in this interdisciplinary field. Results: The search yielded 2,000 publications, showing a fluctuating upward trend in publication volume. Research predominantly originates from countries/regions such as the United States, China, and Turkey. Leading journals in this field include Sleep, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, and Chest; with 7,202 research institutions involved, notable ones include the University of California system, Harvard University, the University System of Ohio, Capital Medical University, and Seoul National University. A total of 10,099 researchers have contributed to this field, including prominent figures such as Kumar R, Harper RM, and Schwab RJ. Keyword analysis indicates current research hotspots are imaging diagnostic techniques for OSAHS, comorbidities associated with OSAHS, and the pathogenesis of OSAHS-related comorbidities. Conclusion: Currently, imaging studies on OSAHS are increasingly becoming a focal area, and new imaging diagnostic techniques for OSAHS require further validation through studies with larger sample sizes and more standardized methods. Additionally, research into the interactions between OSAHS and its comorbidities, different pathogenic mechanisms, and the integration of neuroimaging biomarkers with negative cognitive outcomes urgently needs to be deepened.
