Global Research Trends and Frontiers in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Visualization and 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.
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
Purpose: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare malignant tumor of the urinary tract. Understanding this complex condition requires insights from multiple disciplines, including urology, oncology, molecular biology, genetics, and immunology. The objective of this study was to identify research trends and emerging research hotspots in UTUC research by using bibliometric analysis. Methods: UTUC publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on 8 December 2024 and analyzed with VOSviewer and CiteSpace to assess trends, collaborations, and research hotspots, with emphasis on the top 50 citation bursts. Results: This study analyzed 3,226 publications on UTUC from 1998 to 2024, revealing a consistent upward trend in both annual publication output and citation frequency. The United States emerged as the leading country in terms of publication volume, total citations, and international collaboration intensity. Among research institutions, the Medical University of Vienna published the highest number of publications, while the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center achieved the highest H-index. Meanwhile, Pierre and Marie Curie University led in average citations per publication. Shahrokh F. Shariat was identified as the most prolific author, excelling in both citation count and H-index. Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations ranked highest in publication volume, whereas European Urology demonstrated the strongest academic impact. Keyword analysis indicated shifting research hotspots over time, with growing interest in kidney-sparing surgery, biomarker, neo/adjuvant therapies, and multicenter clinical trials, signaling potential future directions for UTUC research. Conclusion: Our bibliometric analysis provides an overview of current UTUC research trends and emerging topics, which may help researchers identify areas for further investigation.
