Knowledge mapping and emerging trends in pediatric hemiplegia research: a bibliometric study spanning 1982-2025.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Background: Pediatric hemiplegia is a significant neurological condition that impacts motor function and quality of life. This bibliometric analysis aimed to evaluate research trends, collaboration patterns, and emerging topics in pediatric hemiplegia research. Methods: Publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database spanning from 1982 to 2025. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R-bibliometrix to examine contributions of countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. Results: A total of 1,840 publications were analyzed, showing consistent growth with an annual growth rate of 8.69%. The United States emerged as the leading contributor with 393 publications, followed by Italy (137) and the United Kingdom (124), with strong international collaboration networks evident among 64 countries. The University of London demonstrated the highest institutional productivity with 142 publications, while Royal Children's Hospital showed the strongest collaborative connections. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of research progress and identifies key hotspots in pediatric hemiplegia research, revealing the field's evolution from basic clinical descriptions to advanced genetic and classification studies. These findings offer valuable insights for researchers and clinicians to understand current research priorities and guide future investigations in pediatric hemiplegia management and treatment strategies.
