Bibliometric Analysis of the Current Landscape of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Nursing Interventions and Research.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 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: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major global health issue, significantly impacting healthcare systems. Effective nursing interventions are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospitalizations. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of nursing interventions and research in the management of COPD to identify key trends, contributors, and emerging research directions. Material and Methods: We analyzed 1390 articles published before 2024, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI-Expanded). Using R Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace, we assessed publication trends, identified influential authors and institutions, and mapped research hotspots and collaborations. The analysis included quantitative metrics such as citation counts and co-citation networks, as well as qualitative assessments of thematic evolution. Results: The analysis revealed a significant increase in research output on COPD nursing interventions, particularly after 2001, with a peak in publications around 2021, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The United States, the United Kingdom, and China were the top contributors, accounting for over 45% of the total publications. Key research hotspots included acute exacerbations, quality of life, evidence-based nursing, and pulmonary rehabilitation. The study highlighted a shift from symptom management to more holistic, patient-centered care models. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the critical role of nursing interventions in managing COPD and reducing its global burden. The identified research trends and emerging topics offer valuable insights for future research, underscoring the need for innovation in nursing practices and interdisciplinary collaboration. These findings aim to inform the development of more effective COPD nursing strategies and enhance clinical practice.
