Global trends in medical adhesive-related skin injury research from 2013 to 2024: A bibliometric analysis via CiteSpace.
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
objectivesThe study aimed to gain insights into pertinent research and advancements concerning medical adhesive-related skin injuries, thereby enhancing our ability to prevent and manage such injuries effectively.
methodsFollowing the technical report ISO/TP21932:2020 on bibliometric visualization specifications issued by the International Organization for Standardization, a comprehensive search was conducted across the database, spanning from 2013 up to July 25, 2024, to investigate the prevalent topics concerning skin injuries associated with medical adhesives. We visualized and analyzed the collaboration network, co-occurrence, co-citation analysis, co-word analysis, bibliographic coupling, burst detection, timeline view, timezone view, overlay maps, and so on using CiteSpace 6.3 tools.
resultsA total of 310 Chinese and 121 English studies were included. The article was distributed across 31 countries, including 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, involving 175 domestic research institutions and 164 foreign research institutions. There are 137 Chinese journals publishing articles and 55 English journals publishing articles.
conclusionsThe annual publication volume of medical adhesive-related skin injury-related research, both domestically and internationally, is relatively low. Foreign countries have focused on the research and development of dressings and have refined the research population, such as stoma, tumor, and critically ill patients. After reaching its peak during the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic, the number of publications in China showed a slow downward trend, but those focusing on catheter fixation, pain management, and evidence-based nursing were still slightly higher than those abroad.
