Worldwide Research Trends on Lung Cancer and Microbiota: A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Background: The microbiota is intricately linked to lung cancer's development, progression, diagnosis, and treatment, garnering significant academic interest. This study employs bibliometric methods to trace trends and advancements, emphasizing the extraction and analysis of clinical research data, and outlines current challenges and future research directions. Methods: We selected the literature in the Web of Science Core Collection database. To provide an overview, annual publications, countries/regions, and keywords were evaluated through a bibliometric analysis, and extracted and analyzed key clinical information. Results: A total of 579 publications were reviewed, with 177 clinical studies chosen for detailed analysis. These publications, spanning from 1997 to 2025, showed a consistent yearly increase in the number of articles, despite some fluctuations. Conclusion: This field has a bright research prospect, and there is a huge unmet clinical need. Future studies need to expand the sample size and further explore microbiota associated with the mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. Solving problems such as small sample size, heterogeneity of the population, sequencing bias, and precise diagnosis, conducting cross-regional and multicenter research, and identifying specific microbiota that have an important impact on cancer treatment are future challenges.
