General and Regional Anaesthesia in Cancer Surgery: A 20-year Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2026. 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
Objective: In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential effects of anaesthetic agents in cancer surgery. Although the impact of anaesthetic management on long-term oncological outcomes has yet to be definitively established, emerging studies are increasingly exploring interactions with the tumour microenvironment and epigenetic mechanisms. This bibliometric analysis aims to evaluate the existing literature on the use of general and regional anaesthesia in cancer surgery, thereby identifying prevailing trends and informing future research directions. Methods: This was a retrospective bibliometric study designed to examine publications addressing both "cancer" and "anaesthesia" between 2005 and 2024. A search of the Web of Science database using specified keywords retrieved relevant articles, which were subsequently analysed based on parameters such as publication year, authors, journal, citation count, and country. Data were visualized using software, with network analyses conducted to reveal trends, collaboration networks, and research foci in the literature. Results: The analysis reviewed 391 articles; the highest number of publications was recorded in 2021 and 2022. These articles collectively garnered 9,068 citations. The most frequently cited studies came from Ireland and the United States, with Dr. Donal Buggy emerging as the leading researcher in the field. The mapping analysis indicated that journals such as Anesthesiology and the British Journal of Anaesthesia were the dominant publication venues. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the evolving relationship between cancer and anaesthesia over the past two decades. The findings provide a significant foundation for future research and guide scientific development in this field.
