Global Trends in COPD Self-Management Research: A Dual-Perspective Bibliometric Analysis (January 2005-July 2025).
Review in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 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
Purpose: We looked at research articles published from January 2005 to July 1, 2025. We focused on global trends and key research topics in COPD self-management. Patients and Methods: We searched the Web of Science database thoroughly using the keywords "COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)" and "self-management". Most previous meta-analyses and systematic reviews focused only on mediating effects. This study is different. We use a dual-perspective bibliometric method. Apply CiteSpace for co-citation network analysis, and VOSviewer for collaborative structure mapping. This study will look into how regional research affects self-management practices for COPD. It will closely explore the main gaps in the academic community. Results: We reviewed roughly 426 papers and observed that this research area has expanded consistently, peaking between 2020 and 2021. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows a research framework focused on "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" and "self-management" We statistically reviewed main author groups and identified 76 prolific researchers with consistent relevant outputs. This number aligns with the field's growing research interest in recent years. Geographically, European and Australian teams prioritize research quality-their work is methodologically rigorous and clinically useful. US, UK and Dutch institutions have more publications and greater academic influence. Conclusion: Over the past two decades, the field of COPD self-management has made significant progress. This is due to the long-term work of core authors and the collaboration between top research institutions. This study gives key information to optimize COPD self-management strategies, and points out key areas for future research.
