Mapping the Global Surge in Postoperative Sleep Research From 2014 to 2024: Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Interactive journal of medical research, 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
Background: Postoperative sleep is closely associated with recovery among patients undergoing surgery. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the research status and developmental trends in postoperative sleep between 2014 and 2024. Methods: Publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer were used to analyze the papers in terms of publication trends, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. Results: A total of 964 papers were obtained for the bibliometric analysis. The number of publications on this topic has increased gradually over the last 10 years. Zhu Junchao was the most prolific author in the field, and Chung Frances had the most citations. China had the most publications, followed by the United States. Scientific institutions in China, such as China Medical University and Capital Medical University, have led the way in terms of publication numbers. A total of 40 journals have published at least 5 papers. BMC Anesthesiology, with 19 publications, ranked first in publication count. The papers published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, Anesthesia and Analgesia, Journal of Pain, and Journal of Sleep Medicine had higher citation counts on average. The high-frequency keywords were "sleep quality," "postoperative pain," "quality of life," and "surgery," while "lung cancer," "enhanced recovery after surgery," "breast cancer," and "dexamethasone" emerged as new topics in this area. Conclusions: There has emerged a large body of literature on postoperative sleep over the past 10 years. Authors and organizations from China are leading contributors, followed by those from the United States. Anesthesiology is a critical discipline in this field. Postoperative pain is closely related to postoperative sleep and has become a major research focus. Recent studies have mainly focused on lung cancer and breast cancer surgeries. Enhanced recovery after surgery has become an emerging keyword.
