Percutaneous versus surgical tracheostomy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients: a bibliometric review and visual analysis (1990-2024).
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 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: Tracheostomy is a frequently performed procedure for critically ill patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. This study aims to analyze the literature comparing percutaneous and surgical tracheostomy techniques using bibliometric methods to explore trends in research, key contributors, and clinical outcomes. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on publications comparing percutaneous and surgical tracheostomy using the Scopus database. Data on publication trends, authorship, citations, and co-occurrence of keywords were analyzed using VOSviewer software. Results: A total of 51 articles were included, focusing on the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of the two techniques. The analysis revealed a steady increase in publications over the past two decades, with recent studies expanding to compare patient quality of life and healthcare resource utilization. Key authors such as Dulguerov Conclusions: The bibliometric analysis of publications comparing percutaneous and surgical tracheostomy, although limited to a single database search, provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the available literature on the topic.
