Global research trends on the association between gastric cancer and chronic atrophic gastritis: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Discover oncology, 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
backgroundChronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a recognized precancerous condition associated with gastric cancer (GC). Although previous bibliometric analyses have separately examined GC or CAG, few studies have comprehensively explored their interrelationship. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to evaluate research progress, identify developmental trends and hotspots, and provide guidance for future studies addressing the association between GC and CAG.
methodsPublications concerning GC and CAG were retrieved from the Web of Science database, covering studies published between 1 January 2003 and 5 March 2025. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.
resultsIn total, 1062 articles published from 2003 to 2025 were included, revealing a steady increase in publications each year. China, Japan, and the USA were the most productive countries. China Medical University contributed the highest number of publications, while Yuan, Y, and Correa, P were identified as the most productive and highly cited authors. Although numerous journals have contributed to the field, World Journal of Gastroenterology and Gastroenterology the emerged as leading journals based on publication numbers and citation frequency. Keyword and co-cited reference analysis indicated that factors influencing the progression from CAG to GC and endoscopic resection (ER) represent current research hotspots. Furthermore, future research trends are likely to emphasize GC screening, diagnosis, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
conclusionsThis bibliometric analysis of studies concerning GC and CAG identifies current research hotspots and provides valuable recommendations for future research directions.
