Research Trends and Hotspots in Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Bibliometric Study.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 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
backgroundFemale pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a common yet understudied condition with significant psychosocial impacts. Understanding global research trends and emerging topics in FPHL is essential for guiding future investigations.
aimsThis bibliometric analysis aimed to provide an overview of key trends, influential contributors, and evolving research themes in FPHL from 1957 to 2024. PATIENTS/
methodsPublications related to FPHL were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix."
resultsThe study analyzed 488 publications authored by 2165 researchers across 189 journals. The USA led in publication output and citations, followed by China and South Korea. Leading institutions included the Egyptian Knowledge Bank, University of Melbourne, and National Taiwan University. Shapiro Jerry was the most prolific author. The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology had the highest publication count, whereas the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology was the most cited. Keyword analysis identified emerging hotspots, such as "mechanisms," "management," and "safety," with growing interest in "scalp," "association," and "telogen effluvium."
conclusionsThis study highlights the global research landscape of FPHL, emphasizing the focus on treatment efficacy, safety, and underlying mechanisms. Future research may prioritize accurate diagnostic methods and risk factor exploration.
