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

Purpose: The field of immune tolerance after kidney transplantation has witnessed substantial growth in research over the decades. To systematically evaluate the trends and hotspots in this area, a bibliometric analysis was conducted spanning from 1976 to 2024. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database. VOSviewers, CiteSpace and the R package "bibliometrix" were used for visualization. Results: The analysis examined 1033 English articles, highlighting the involvement of 6608 authors from 3461 institutions across 53 countries/regions. The research showed a 4.14% annual growth in publications, peaking in 2016 and declining recently. The most cited article was "Marked prolongation of porcine renal xenograft survival in baboons through the use of alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase gene-knockout donors and the cotransplantation of vascularized thymic tissue (488 citations)" published in the Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights the evolving trends and hotspots in research on immune tolerance after kidney transplantation. Future studies should continue to explore the integration of machine learning in understanding and predicting immune tolerance.
