Mental health of children in high-altitude regions: a bibliometric study and visualization analysis from 1979 to 2024.
Article in Annals of general psychiatry, 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
backgroundChildren's mental health in high-altitude areas is influenced by various environmental, socioeconomic, and biological factors. This study aims to explore the knowledge framework and key research areas in this domain, using bibliometric methods to analyze trends, collaboration patterns, and essential themes related to children's mental health at high altitudes.
methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted on publications from 1979 to 2024 retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The R package "Bibliometrix," VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were used to analyze publication trends, collaboration patterns, and research themes.
resultsA total of 520 English-language articles were included. The United States was the most prolific country (226 articles), and Duke University was the leading institution (66 articles). The Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry was the most influential journal. E. Jane Costello was the most prolific author (50 publications). Co-occurrence network analysis identified four major clusters: possible mechanisms, outcomes, psychopathology, and management of mental health issues. Academic research in very high HDI countries focuses more on quality-of-life and mental health issues, whereas low and medium HDI countries prioritize fundamental public health and common disease prevention.
conclusionsThis study provides a bibliometric foundation for quantitatively assessing research trends on mental health among children in high-altitude regions. Current research primarily focuses on underlying mechanisms, outcomes, mental health conditions, and management strategies. For countries at different development levels, research should be tailored to their specific social development stages and health challenges.
