The diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism: a bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2024.
Article in Gland surgery, 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
Background: Hyperthyroidism is a common condition associated with osteoporosis, heart disease, and increased mortality. However, bibliometric analyses on hyperthyroidism are scarce. This study aimed to characterize the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism through bibliometric analysis. Methods: We retrieved the relevant literature on the diagnosis and management of hyperthyroidism published from 2004 to 2024 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. Bibliometric analysis was performed via CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Results: We identified 6,041 publications from 629 countries/regions. The annual number of related publications showed a steady increase over time. Among countries/regions, the United States led in publication volume, while the University of Pisa led among the contributing institutions. Conclusions: This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive analysis of publications on the diagnosis and management of hyperthyroidism. Key research hotspots include management strategies for Graves' disease, international treatment guidelines and emerging areas such as immunotherapy for hyperthyroidism, which suggests the future directions, potential opportunities, and challenges in the field.
