Virus in infectious uveitis: bibliometric analysis and a clinical study.
Synthesis in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Introduction: In recent years, advancements in detection technology have led to increased research interest in viral uveitis. Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive analysis, comprising a bibliometric examination of literature on virus and infectious uveitis and a retrospective study focusing on infectious uveitis. The bibliometric analysis aimed to elucidate past and emerging trends in this field over several decades. In the retrospective study, intraocular fluid samples were collected from 73 patients suspected of having infectious uveitis for metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), with 29 samples also subjected to microbiological culture. Results: Analysis of the literature revealed a steady rise in annual publications on virus and infectious uveitis from 1990 to 2021, reaching a peak in 2021. The United States emerged as the most prolific contributor, with significant collaborative relationships with other nations. Keywords were clustered into five categories, covering diagnostic criteria, diagnostic tools, clinical manifestations, epidemiology, and etiology of viral uveitis. Interestingly, research focus shifted from predominant viral types and serodiagnosis towards intraocular fluid testing. mNGS demonstrated a notably higher positivity rate (73.97%) compared to culture (3.45%), identifying various pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, Conclusion: Viral uveitis has consistently garnered research attention, with future directions likely focusing on virus types and diagnostic tools. Viruses are the main causative microorganisms of infectious uveitis. The high efficacy of mNGS in identifying diverse pathogens from minute volumes of intraocular fluid samples highlights its pivotal role in diagnosing infectious uveitis.
