The Research Trends and Hotspots of Sepsis and Multiple Organ Failure: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, frequently leads to multiple organ failure (MOF), creating a critical challenge for healthcare systems worldwide. However, a systematic bibliometric analysis is lacking to map global research efforts, identify emerging hotspots, and reveal innovative directions in this field. This study aims to analyze research trends in sepsis and MOF through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection on December 31, 2024. The analysis utilized three bibliometric tools, namely VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix", to ensure comprehensive evaluation. Results: The study included a total of 4,061 articles, authored by 19,602 researchers from 4,045 institutions spanning 99 countries and regions. The USA emerged as a prominent country in this field, with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education making significant contributions to this field. Chaudry IH was identified as the most influential author. The journal Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides novel insights into research trends and hotspots in sepsis and MOF research. Research hotspots focus on clinical outcomes, molecular mechanisms and immune responses. The findings underscore the need for future studies to prioritize epidemiological investigations, patient prognosis assessment, and the development of effective therapeutic strategies to improve clinical management.
