A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of the Current Status and Future Perspectives of Adrenal Cortical Adenoma.
Review in Cureus, 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
Adrenal cortical adenoma (ACA) is a tumor of the adrenal cortex with complex pathophysiological mechanisms often related to hormonal abnormalities such as aldosterone hypersecretion. This bibliometric overview of ACA research charts its growth, trends, and emerging themes. Publications on ACA were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection until June 1, 2025. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used for co-occurrence, co-citation, and keyword burst analyses. We analyzed the temporal distribution and networks of countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. A steady increase in the number of ACA publications was observed, with a peak from 2011 to 2015. The leading contributors were from the United States, Japan, and Italy, with significant contributions from institutions such as Tohoku University and the University of Würzburg. Co-citation analysis revealed a focus on histopathological classification, diagnosis, and the molecular mechanisms of ACA. The bibliometric analysis identified key trends in ACA research, such as the growing emphasis on genetic mechanisms and clinical guidelines. Interdisciplinary collaborations have enhanced the understanding of ACA.
