Global research trends and hotspots in bronchiectasis: a 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: Bronchiectasis is characterized by chronic cough and bronchial dilation. It has evolved from an orphan disease to a common condition, with a long history of research. This study employed bibliometric and visualization analyses to comprehensively examine the research dynamics, hotspots, and development trends in bronchiectasis research. Methods: Articles on bronchiectasis published between 2005 and 2024 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The co-occurrence and clustering of keywords, co-citations of literature, and cooperation relationships among countries and institutions were analyzed and visualized via R-Bibliometric and VOSviewer. Results: A total of 127 countries/regions participated in the research on bronchiectasis, with 6,331 articles included in the analysis, published in 1,350 journals. The results showed that the number of research achievements on bronchiectasis had been increasing over the past 20 years. The United States of America was the country with the highest number of publications and citations. The top high-frequency keywords are sorted by frequency of occurrence: "bronchiectasis", "cystic fibrosis", "COPD", "CT", "asthma", "children", "primary ciliary dyskinesia", "exacerbation", " Conclusions: Research in the field of bronchiectasis is growing rapidly. The causes of decreased respiratory function might be the focus of subsequent research and the direction of development. This study encapsulates the developmental trajectories in the realm of bronchiectasis research, offering references for ongoing and forthcoming studies relevant to bronchiectasis.
