Exploring the Nexus Between Ankle-Brachial Index and Atherosclerosis: A Bibliometric Analysis From 1989 to 2024.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Purpose: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases related to atherosclerosis represent a leading global health burden, contributing substantially to morbidity, disability, and premature mortality. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) has emerged as a valuable non-invasive tool for screening peripheral artery disease and assessing the burden of systemic atherosclerosis. This bibliometric analysis aims to evaluate the research landscape, key contributors, and evolving trends in ABI and atherosclerosis studies. Patients and Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Web of Science Core Collection from 1989 to 2024. The data were analyzed using the R package "bibliometrix", CiteSpace, and VOSviewer to identify research outputs, influential institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. Results: This study included a total of 1896 eligible publications. The number of publications on ABI and atherosclerosis has steadily increased, peaking in 2021. The United States led in research output (n = 448) and citation impact (n = 29,980), followed by China and Japan. University of California System contributed the most publications, while Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive perspective on the role of the ABI in the field of atherosclerosis research, and it offers crucial support for guiding future research directions.
