Comparative analysis of research hotspots and development trends of pediatric palliative care at home and abroad based on CiteSpace: a bibliometric study.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Aim: To visualize and analyze the literature on palliative care for children based on Web of Science and CNKI database. Methods: The research literature on child palliative care included in the Web of Science and CNKI databases from 2000 to 2024 was searched, and the publication volume, authors, institutions, keyword clusters and emerging words of the literature were analyzed by CiteSpace 6.3.R2 software, and the publication trends, core force distribution and theme evolution paths of Chinese and foreign studies were compared. Results: A total of 1,256 articles were included, and the visual analysis structure showed that the number of publications on palliative care for children in China and abroad showed an overall upward trend, but there was a significant gap in the overall number of publications, and the number of publications in foreign countries was nearly ten times that of China. In terms of research strength, foreign countries have close cooperation with Harvard University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as the core. China is concentrated in medical institutions in first-tier cities in the east, and cooperation is loose; From the analysis of keywords, it can be seen that foreign research hotspots focus on patient experience, and in recent years, they have shifted to practice optimization such as service barriers, while China focuses on methodology and service system construction. Conclusion: It is expected that the future research on global child palliative care will carry out multidisciplinary collaboration and resource integration, reduce practical barriers, improve social cognition, and artificial intelligence technology-driven and optimize needs assessment tools.
