Trends and emerging frontiers of photodynamic therapy for non-melanoma skin cancer (1979-October 2024): a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment modality for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This study aims to use bibliometric analysis to explore the research trends and development in the field of PDT for NMSC, identifying key hotspots and emerging directions. Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive literature search in the Web of Science Core Collection database and applied bibliometric analysis and visualization using tools such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix". Results: A total of 358 publications were analyzed, with the USA led in contributions and collaborations, with Yale University being the top institution. The Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the distribution patterns and key research hotspots in the field of PDT for NMSC. Future research trends should focus on treatment technologies and immune responses.
