Mapping the research trends and hotspots on lung transplant nursing: insights from bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 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
Background: Nursing professionals play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of lung transplant patients, and over the past few decades, there have been many reports on this topic. However, a comprehensive analysis of the overarching status and prevailing research trends in lung transplant nursing research has not yet been conducted. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to clarify the current research trends and predict future research hotspots in this field. Methods: Scientific publications on lung transplant nursing were systematically retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from database establishment to 2024. CiteSpace was used to analyze publication output trends, national and institutional collaborations, journals, authors, co-citations of journals and authors, references, and keyword bursts. Results: In total, 133 studies focusing on lung transplant nursing were identified. Among the institutions, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE) had the most prolific publication output, and the United States emerged as the leading contributor among the countries. Current research hotspots include perioperative care, postoperative complication monitoring and prevention, and aspects related to enhancing the quality of life of patients. Long-term priorities in this domain involve treatment adherence and psychological health, particularly anxiety. Conclusions: Presently, lung transplant nursing is in an exploratory phase, characterized by a limited publication volume and overall slow development. Based on the CiteSpace results, we recommend more active collaborations between various countries, institutions, and authors to conduct research related to perioperative care, mental health, and treatment compliance in lung transplantation, to improve the survival and quality of life of patients after lung transplantation.
