A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Appearance Anxiety.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Over the past two decades, research on appearance anxiety has experienced a significant surge. There is an urgent need to sort out these studies to promote the integration of the discipline. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of research related to "appearance anxiety" in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) via a visualization tool, aiming to clarify the research hotspots and frontiers, and provide valuable information for researchers in this field. A total of 365 publications were searched. The expansion of research scale in this field coexists with the dilution of academic influence. The USA is the dominant country in this field. International collaboration urgently needs to be strengthened. The research hotspots focus on studies related to appearance anxiety and related psychological and social aspects. They are concentrated on issues related to body image and mental health among the adolescent population. The research frontiers not only delve deeper into the individual but also examine the long-term impact of appearance anxiety on an individual's social functions, interpersonal relationships, and overall quality of life.
