A Quarter-Century of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the Intensive Care Unit (2000-2025): A Bibliometric Roadmap of Thematic Evolution and Future Frontiers.
Review in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 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
Background: Research on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has expanded rapidly, yet a comprehensive, longitudinal bibliometric analysis mapping its is scientific evolution lacking. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 2,512 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (2000-2025). A preliminary literature search confirmed no prior bibliometric study has specifically and systematically mapped this entire domain. Using VOSviewer and CiteSpace, we analyzed publication trends, collaborations, co-citation networks, and keyword bursts. Results: Annual publications show a consistent upward trajectory, with accelerated growth post-2019. The United States, China, and France are leading contributors, with robust international collaboration. The intellectual structure has evolved from foundational mechanical ventilation research to integrated management and prognostic modeling. Current research frontiers emphasize non-invasive ventilation, acute exacerbation management, and outcomes in multi-organ failure. Conclusion: This study provides the first quarter-century roadmap of ICU-focused COPD research, demonstrating its maturation toward data-driven and personalized care. By delineating the thematic evolution and identifying emergent interdisciplinary frontiers, such as data science integration and post-ICU recovery, this analysis offers a strategic guide for prioritizing research and optimizing care for this vulnerable population.
