1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Ischemic stroke is a disease in which local ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissues are caused by obstruction of blood vessels in the brain, which in turn triggers brain tissue damage and neurological dysfunction. Recent studies have made significant progress in understanding the role of exosomes in ischemic stroke. Exosomes exhibit anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic, angiogenic, and neuroregenerative effects, as well as glial scar reduction and drug delivery effects in ischemic stroke. However, there is a notable gap in bibliometric analyses that focus specifically on this subject. This study systematically evaluated the current knowledge and identified emerging research trends regarding exosomes in ischemic stroke through a bibliometric analysis. Methods: We retrieved research articles on the role of exosomes in ischemic stroke published between 2004 and 2023 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database and then conducted a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometrix package in the R programming environment. Results: A comprehensive analysis of 374 publications from 38 countries revealed a steady increase in research focused on exosomes in ischemic stroke. This analysis significantly emphasized the contributions of researchers from China and the United States. Key research institutions in this field include Henry Ford Health System, Henry Ford Hospital, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The Conclusion: In the context of ischemic stroke, a recent bibliometric evaluation provided a comprehensive analysis of research trends and developments related to exosomes. The findings of this study highlight current research frontiers and identify significant emerging trends. These findings offer a crucial resource for researchers focusing on exploring exosomes.
