Academic and societal impact of cancer pain research: a bibliometric and Altmetric Analysis.
Article in Pain management, 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
backgroundCancer-related pain affects quality of life despite advancements in management. Bibliometric and altmetric analyses provide insights into the academic and societal impact of research.
objectiveThis study analyzed the top 100 most-cited articles on cancer-related pain using bibliometric and altmetric indicators, exploring correlations between altmetric scores, citations per year, and total citations.
methodsA search of the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted on 2 November 2024, to identify articles related to cancer pain published between 1975 and 2024. The top 100 most-cited articles were selected based on total citation counts. Only English-language articles with full-text access were included. Bibliometric data were collected. Altmetric scores were retrieved using the Altmetric Explorer platform, and correlations were assessed using Spearman's test.
resultsThe 100 most-cited articles appeared in 35 journals, with PAIN contributing the most (
conclusionThis study highlights the academic and societal impact of cancer pain research. The weak correlation between citations and altmetric scores suggests a need for better dissemination strategies to enhance public engagement.
