Analysis of trends and hotspots in the research on sleep disorders of maintenance hemodialysis patients based on bibliometrics.

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
Objective: To explore the research hotspots and frontiers of sleep disorders in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) over the past 15 years. Methods: Relevant literature published from January 1, 2010, to April 1, 2025, was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis and VOSviewer software were employed to visualize data on countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. Results: A total of 337 articles were included. The annual publication volume demonstrated an upward trend. China ranked first in contributions (21.3%), followed by the United States (16.9%) and Turkey (12.8%). BMC Nephrology was the most active journal, and the University of Pittsburgh emerged as the leading institution. One major author collaboration group was identified. Research hotspots focused on specific sleep disorders (e.g., sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome), clinical outcomes (e.g., mortality, prevalence), influencing factors, quality of life, and interventions. Emerging trends included psychological and physical comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, pain, and fatigue. Conclusion: Bibliometric analysis combined with visualization tools effectively maps the current landscape and frontiers of sleep disorder research in MHD patients. These findings provide evidence-based references for future nursing practices and interdisciplinary studies in this field.
