Mapping Oral Frailty Research in the Elderly (1997-2024): A Comparative Bibliometric Analysis of China and the International Landscape.
Review in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). 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
backgroundTo map the developmental context, hotspots, and trends of oral frailty research in China and globally, clarify its research status and bottlenecks, and guide Chinese scholars in targeted studies and building a comprehensive oral frailty health management system.
methodsBibliometric analysis and knowledge graph visualization were used. Literature was retrieved from CNKI (2010-2024) and WOS Core Collection (1997-2024), with "oral hypofunction" standardized to "oral frailty". After screening, 71 Chinese and 339 international articles were included; CiteSpace 6.3.R1 analyzed publication volumes, collaboration networks, and keyword metrics.
resultsInternational publications rose steadily from 2009, and Chinese publications from 2012. Chinese author/institution collaboration was diffuse (no core teams), while international collaboration was stronger. China focused on "basic cognitive construction", international research on oral frailty-adverse health outcome links ("oral health" betweenness centrality = 0.27). 2022-2024: China focused on "elderly/frailty", international on "oral frailty-disease relationships".
conclusionsIt clarifies phase differences (China: basic exploration; international: outcome association), confirms oral frailty as a systemic geriatric syndrome, supports China-adapted assessment frameworks, and provides data for China's assessment systems, interventions, and global collaboration.
