Bibliometric and visual analysis of cancer-related insomnia research from 2015 to 2025.
Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAs the second most prevalent cancer-related symptom, insomnia has a long-lasting detrimental effect on cancer patients' and survivors' quality of life. This study is intended to examine the current research status and emerging hotspots of cancer-related insomnia from January 1, 2015, to March 25, 2025, to provide a valuable reference for future investigations.
methodsLiterature related to cancer-associated insomnia was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and visually analyzed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Scimago Graphica.
resultsA total of 732 articles were retrieved. Research on cancer-related insomnia has exhibited a generally upward trend. Among these, the United States ranks first in publication volume, while Laval University in Canada is identified as the most productive institution. The Journal of Clinical Oncology is the most frequently cited, whereas Supportive Care in Cancer has the highest number of published articles. Garland, Sheila N was the most published author, while Mao, Jun J had the highest average number of citations in publications. The current research hotspots have been identified as insomnia in breast and lung cancer, quality of life among patients with cancer-related insomnia, and therapeutic approaches to its management. Future investigations are anticipated to emphasize the screening and assessment of insomnia in oncology populations, along with broader issues in supportive care.
conclusionInsomnia has increasingly been recognized for its detrimental impact on treatment efficacy and overall quality of life among individuals diagnosed with cancer and those in post-treatment survivorship. This study presents an in-depth bibliometric analysis of cancer-related insomnia literature published between 2015 and 2025, serving as a foundational reference for subsequent investigations.
