Research Hotspots and Trends in Ciliopathies: A Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis.
Article in BioMed research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research hotspots and development trends in ciliopathies to provide an overview of the global research landscape.
methodsThe study retrieved relevant literature on ciliopathies from the Web of Science Core Collection up to July 27, 2024. Using the CiteSpace visualization software, co-occurrence network analyses were performed on the authors, institutions, and keywords of the literature.
resultsA total of 1821 papers were included, demonstrating a wave-like increasing trend in annual publication volume. Among English-language publications, Omran, Heymut had the highest number of articles. The cooperation network among the United States, the United Kingdom, and China was broader than that of other countries or regions. Omran, Heymut had the highest number of publications (64), placing him among the most prolific authors (defined as ≥ 60 publications); Knowles, Michael R. (58) and Leigh, Margaret W. (51) ranked second and third, respectively. Research hotspots mainly focused on functional mutations, congenital heart disease, cystic fibrosis, dyskinesia, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and genetics. Current ongoing hotspots include genetics, dynein, multiple morphological abnormalities, motile cilia, male infertility, variants, and sperm flagella.
conclusionThis study delineates the evolutionary trajectory of research themes, identifies established and emerging hotspots, and maps the global collaborative network. These findings provide a systematic, evidence-based framework to guide future research directions, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and optimize resource allocation in the ciliopathy field.
