ReviewJournal of gastrointestinal cancer2026
A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends and Collaborative Networks in Gastric Cancer and Helicobacter Pylori Studies.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 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
backgroundGastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health burden, with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection being a major etiological factor. Despite extensive research, a comprehensive overview of the temporal evolution of research output, collaborative networks among countries and institutions, and shifting research foci in this field is lacking.
methodsWe conducted a bibliometric analysis utilizing the Citexs database and its analytics platform. Literature pertaining to GC and H. pylori published between January 2004 and December 2023 was retrieved and subjected to data mining and visualization to delineate research trends and hotspots.
resultsAnalysis of 12,789 publications revealed a generally upward trend in annual output. The United States was the most productive country, while The American Journal of Gastroenterology was the leading journal. Baylor College of Medicine was the most prolific institution, and Yoshio Yamaoka was the most productive author. Keyword and thematic analysis identified core research areas, including H. pylori, gastritis, the cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), and GC itself. At the mechanistic level, current research focuses heavily on genes such as CXCL8, TNF, and NFKB1.
conclusionFuture studies should prioritize deeper exploration of these core themes and pivotal signaling pathways to potentially facilitate advances in the prevention and treatment of H. pylori-associated GC.
