Visualization and bibliometric analysis of global research trends on oral cancer screening and early diagnosis.
Article in Discover oncology, 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
backgroundCancer screening and early diagnosis play a crucial role in reducing the mortality of the late-stage oral cancer. This research performed bibliometric analysis of the published literature to provide an overview on research status and visualize the changing trends.
methodsThe related English articles and reviews published from 1990 to 2024 concerning oral cancer screening and early diagnosis were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis and visualization were performed; the citation information was obtained by HistCite.
resultsFrom1990 to 2024, the number of publications showed a steady growth with a surge during the last five years, and a total of 3,360 publications were identified. The United States was the leading country with the highest number of publications and citations. University of California, Los Angeles and King's College London were the most influential institutions. Sankaranarayanan R, Warnakulasuriya S, and Epstein JB was the most productive author. Oral Oncology held the highest number of papers and citations. The top 10 most cited publications and references were listed. The evolution of research hotspots was illustrated thorough co-citation analysis of references and keywords citation burst detection. Oral potentially malignant disorders, artificial intelligence, and liquid biopsy were identified as three current hotspots.
conclusionsCurrent research in oral cancer screening and early diagnosis focuses on oral potentially malignant disorders and adjunctive diagnostic techniques, especially on artificial intelligence and liquid biopsy. Comprehensive collaboration and inter-disciplinary studies are needed to further current research.
