Exploring global calcimimetics research trends: a systematic and thematic review of Web of Science and Scopus databases from 1997 to 2024.

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
Background: Calcimimetics are a group of medications that increase the sensitivity of the calcium receptors to extracellular calcium ions and inhibit the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the global trends in the publication of articles on calcimimetics through bibliometric analysis of the Web of Science and Scopus databases, as well as to identify the most highly cited articles from 1997 to 2024. Methods: Systematic and thematic analyses were performed to provide substantial insights into calcimimetic research. Data were analyzed using VOS viewer (var1.6.6) and the Biblioshiny tool. Results: A total of 3,500 documents were identified for analysis. There was an exponential growth in calcimimetic-associated publications (from 57 documents in 2004 to 258 in 2021). The mean of the total citations per article showed a decrease from 226 in 1998 to 0 in 2024. The United States was the most productive country. Goodman W. emerged as the most prolific author, with high-level metrics [ Conclusion: The results of this review offer a summary of the global landscape, the key research areas, and possible future directions in calcimimetic research. This information can assist researchers in exploring the knowledge structure and understanding future trends in calcimimetic research, as well as in supporting collaboration toward advanced global research on calcimimetics.
