The rising tide of frailty in Parkinson's disease: a bibliometric study of global research landscape and emerging trends.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology. 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: Frailty represents a prevalent comorbidity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and poses an escalating global health challenge, particularly amid rapidly aging populations. Despite the increasing recognition of frailty in PD, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the research landscape remains absent. This study aims to systematically evaluate the current research status on frailty in PD and uncover emerging trends and focal points through bibliometric methods. Methods: On September 22, 2025, a comprehensive literature retrieval on frailty in PD, dating from January 1, 2004, was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Scopus databases. Bibliometric analyses were performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, while R software was used for additional visualization and analysis. Results: A total of 2,391 publications on frailty in PD were identified, authored by 7,379 researchers from 1,789 institutions across 72 countries. Publication output exhibited a strong upward trend over the past two decades ( Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of research progress in PD-related frailty, highlighting key themes and future directions. The field increasingly focuses on early diagnosis, rehabilitation, and mechanistic studies, particularly the Brain-Gut Axis's role in frailty development. These insights offer valuable insights to guide future research, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and inform strategies for improving patient care and disease management.
