Research trends in estrogen and rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic bibliometric approach.
Synthesis in Biology of sex differences, 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
backgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease. An increasing body of evidence indicates that hormones, particularly estrogen, play a significant role in RA. To date, no bibliometric studies have been conducted specifically on the role of estrogen in RA. This study seeks to perform a bibliometric analysis to elucidate research trends concerning estrogen in the context of RA from a comprehensive and systematic viewpoint.
methodsWe extracted literature pertaining to estrogen in RA from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database, up to April 22, 2025. Research trends in this domain were analyzed utilizing bibliometric software tools, VOSviewer and Bibliometricx.
resultsA total of 1,009 literatures were included in this study. Articles in this field were first published in 1951 and have shown an overall upward trend since 1982. The United States and China were the countries that contributed the most articles, while the University of Genoa was the most contributing affiliation. CUTOLO M is the most prolific and most cited author. Arthritis and Rheumatology is the most published and cited journal in this field in the world. The primary focus of research in this area encompasses the evidence, mechanisms, and practical applications of estrogen's involvement in RA. In addition, the key words such as "cytokines", "inflammation", "immune response", "oxidative stress", and "endometriosis" appear most frequently, which indicates that the mechanism research of estrogen's participation in RA has been a research hotspot in recent years.
conclusionThis study reflects the degree of academic interest in the potential link between estrogen and RA. This also lays a foundation for continuous research in this field and provides certain insights for future research directions.
