Trends, Hotspots, and Future Directions of Research on Pain in Dystonia: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
introductionPain in dystonia is closely related neurological disorders, with significant impact on patients' quality of life. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to examine the development trends, research hotspots, and future directions in the field of pain in dystonia.
methodsPublications from 1981 to 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric data were analyzed using the R package "Bibliometrix," VOSviewer, and CiteSpace.
resultsA total of 1225 articles were included in this study. The USA had the highest publication volume (329), followed by Germany (103) and Italy (87). The most productive institution was the University of London with 123 publications. Movement Disorders was one of the most influential journals in its field. Key authors in the field included Jankovic Joseph, Marinus Johan, and Van Hilten Jacobus J. The high-frequency keywords were "double-blind," "efficacy," and "spasmodic torticollis." Keywords burst analysis showed emerging interests in "blepharospasm," "botulinum neurotoxin," "quality of life," "diagnosis," "management," and "neurotoxin."
conclusionThis bibliometric study quantitatively analyzed research trends in pain in dystonia, identifying key contributors, hotspots, and emerging trends. Keywords result reflected the growing interest in improving patient outcomes through better diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions aimed at alleviating symptoms and enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition.
