1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Alveolar regeneration represents a critical research direction in respiratory disease treatment. Despite the surge in studies following the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive bibliometric analysis to systematically evaluate global research trends and future directions remains lacking Methods: This study employed bibliometric methodology to analyze 1564 publications related to alveolar regeneration from 1974 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data visualization and analysis were conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), CiteSpace (version 6.2.R3), and the biblioshiny R package. Results: The analysis encompassed 68 countries, 1930 institutions, and 9150 researchers across 658 journals. The United States leads with 601 publications and 32,172 citations, with Harvard University as the most influential institution. The Conclusion: This first comprehensive 50-year bibliometric analysis of alveolar regeneration reveals the evolutionary trend from basic mechanistic exploration toward clinical translational applications, providing important reference for researchers and funding agencies.
