Research hotspots and trends in pediatric telemedicine: a CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis (1978-2025).
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Aim: Given the rapid growth yet fragmented nature of pediatric telemedicine research, this study employed bibliometric analysis to address specific research questions regarding key publications, leading authors, core journals, prominent institutions, thematic structures, and research theme evolution. The findings were aimed at providing an objective, panoramic view to guide future research priorities and clinical practice development in pediatric telemedicine. Methods: A retrospective bibliometric analysis was conducted on publications in the field of telemedicine in pediatrics, covering the time period from 1978 to 2025. The data were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection on March 4, 2025. This study analyzed the annual number of publications and citations, explored relationships between authors, institutions, countries, and keywords, and identified emerging trends and research frontiers in the field of telemedicine in pediatrics. Results: A total of 114 countries and 120 institutions published articles on pediatric telemedicine. Co-occurring keywords and cluster analysis indicate that recent major research trends in the field of pediatric telemedicine include telepsychiatry for mental health, autism spectrum disorders, and parent training, as well as digital health for care, service, and quality of life. Additionally, tele-diagnosis and care of, obesity, retinopathy of prematurity, critical care, and traumatic brain injury are also popular research areas. Conclusion: The United States has a significant presence in the field of pediatric telemedicine. Although telemedicine is growing rapidly in pediatrics, it cannot replace face-to-face care.
