Visualisation of research hotspots in the surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease based on the web of science database.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Objective: In recent years, there has been a continuous growth in the number of publications related to surgical treatment of IBD globally. However, there is currently a scarcity of bibliometric analyses based on VOSviewer to evaluate the past and present global research in this field. This study aims to analyze the bibliometric characteristics of papers related to IBD surgery to reveal research hotspots and trends in this domain. Methods: As of August 31, 2024, we retrospectively collected scientific papers on IBD surgery published in the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric metadata from each selected paper was extracted for analysis. VOSviewer was utilized to visualize the results. Results: A total of 6,239 papers met the inclusion criteria. The United States exhibited the highest total link strength and published the most papers ( Conclusion: In this study, a bibliometric analysis of IBD surgery research was conducted using VOSviewer. USA emerged as the leading country in this field and "INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES" is the most influential journal in this field. Scientists and research institutes all over the world should transcend national boundaries and establish deeper collaboration. The main focus of the research is on the use of robotic surgery in the treatment of IBD, which is essential to expand our understanding of surgical treatment of IBD and to optimise treatment outcomes. Further research in this area could greatly improve the effectiveness of personalised therapies.
