1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The 2022 global monkeypox outbreak fuelled a surge in related research. In this study, a bibliometric analysis of 2,076 monkeypox-related articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (from January 2014 to June 2025) was performed, and VOSviewer was used to visualize keyword co-occurrence networks and collaboration patterns among countries and institutions. Unlike existing studies, the latest data for 2024-2025 are incorporated; postoutbreak research trends, collaborative patterns, and PHEIC-driven resource aggregation effects are systematically incorporated; and gaps in dynamic and multifaceted analyses of the field are addressed. The results revealed a three-stage global research output: low accumulation (2014-2021), a sharp surge after 2022, and sustained high levels after a peak in 2023. The core research clusters focused on viral transmission dynamics and clinical interventions. Country contributions showed a pyramidal hierarchy, with the US leading, followed by China, India, and Saudi Arabia; government health agencies and academic institutions codominated collaborations. The findings confirm the role of the PHEIC in concentrating scientific resources, emphasizing the importance of strengthening international collaboration to address future epidemic challenges.
