A Bibliometric Analysis of Strabismus Research Literature : Strabismus Research Trends.
Review in Galen medical journal, 2025. 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: Background: Strabismus, a common ocular disorder marked by misalignment of the visual axes, can impair depth perception and visual function, while also affecting facial appearance and psychosocial wellbeing. In recent years, the field has seen a growing body of research focusing on its pathogenesis, risk factors, and therapeutic approaches. However, the literature is still fragmented, making it difficult to assess overarching trends. Therefore, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is needed to understand research developments and identify emerging hotspots in this domain. Materials and Methods: Materials and Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and CiteSpace on 6,540 English-language articles and reviews related to strabismus, published between 1995 and 2025, and retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Results: Results: The updated analysis revealed consistent growth in publication output, with particularly rapid expansion in recent years. While the United States remained a key contributor, China has overtaken the U.S. in annual output since 2023. Keyword co-occurrence and burst analysis identified both long-standing research interests (e.g., intermittent exotropia [IXT], AACE, surgical outcomes) and newer focus areas such as digital screen exposure, artificial intelligence in diagnostics, and individualized surgical planning. Conclusion: Conclusion: This study provides an updated and comprehensive bibliometric evaluation of global strabismus research through 2025. The results highlight evolving academic contributions, changing geographical trends, and shifting research priorities, offering guidance for future investigations and clinical advancements.
