Global trends in gastric cancer and nutrition, 2000-2023: A bibliometric and visualization analysis.
Article in Medicine, 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
backgroundGastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Malnutrition is highly prevalent in GC patients and is linked to poor prognosis and increased disease burden. While nutritional support is known to improve outcomes and reduce complications, a comprehensive analysis of the research landscape is lacking. This study provides a bibliometric assessment of scientific literature regarding GC and nutrition.
methodsPublications from the 21st century to the present were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were conducted using VOSviewer, Pajek, and the R package "bibliometrix."
resultsA total of 1760 articles were analyzed. Publication volume grew steadily after 2016, peaking in 2022. The United States, China, and Japan emerged as the leading research hubs. Key contributing institutions include Wenzhou Medical University, Sun Yat-sen University, and Ohio State University. Annals of Surgical Oncology is the most prolific and cited journal. Research primarily centers on the prognostic impact of nutrition and strategies to enhance patients' nutritional and immunological status.
conclusionThis study is the first bibliometric analysis of the global research landscape concerning GC and nutrition. By identifying current hotspots and emerging trends, it provides a valuable reference for researchers aiming to optimize nutritional interventions and improve patient outcomes.
