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: Music Emotion Regulation (MER) research has emerged as a significant field in mental health intervention, yet a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of its development and current status is lacking. Purpose: This research aims to systematically analyze the knowledge structure, research trends, and development patterns in MER research through bibliometric analysis. Methods: Using data from the Web of Science Core Collection (2000-2024), we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using R for primary analyses. We examined publication trends, collaboration networks, research themes, and emerging directions through multiple bibliometric indicators including co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence, and research theme evolution. Results: The analysis revealed three distinct development phases of MER research: initial exploration (2000-2009), rapid growth (2010-2019), and maturation (2020-2024). Research in the field demonstrates a clear transition from theoretical foundations to practical applications, with increasing methodological sophistication and cross-disciplinary integration. International collaboration networks show a "tri-polar" pattern centered in East Asia, Europe, and North America, with distinctive regional research characteristics. Conclusion: MER research has evolved into a mature, interdisciplinary field with robust theoretical foundations and practical applications. Future development trends point toward increased integration of artificial intelligence, personalized intervention strategies, and expanded international collaboration.
