Global trends and hotspots in blood glucose management for elderly patients with diabetes: A bibliometric analysis (2000-2024).
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundEffective management of blood glucose levels in elderly patients with diabetes is crucial in healthcare and has seen significant advancements. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analyses in this field. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview through bibliometric analysis.
methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection to identify research trends in blood glucose management for elderly patients with diabetes from 2000 to 2024. The analysis utilized VOSviewer version 1.6.20, CiteSpace version 6.3.R1, and R version 4.3.3 to visualize collaboration networks and emerging research trends.
resultsA total of 11,826 publications were analyzed, sourced from 134 countries and 228 institutions between 2000 and 2024. There has been a consistent increase in publications, particularly from 2020 to 2022. The United States was the leading contributor, with 2436 publications, while Harvard University had the highest output at 829 publications. Among the journals, Diabetes Care was the most impactful based on its high Hirsch index. Influential authors included Beck Roy W and Khunti Kamlesh. Keyword analysis identified "continuous glucose monitoring," "weight," "progression," "young adults," "classification," and "time in range" as primary research themes since 2017.
conclusionThis bibliometric analysis provides a detailed overview of blood glucose management in elderly diabetic patients. Key focus areas such as "continuous glucose monitoring," "time in range," and "weight" have gained significant attention. Future research should further explore these themes, especially the role of continuous glucose monitoring and the concept of time in range in clinical practice.
