1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Sporotrichosis, a chronic infectious disease caused by the Objective: This study aims to elucidate the primary research themes, influential authors and institutions, and the evolution of sporotrichosis research trends through bibliometric analysis. In addition, we employ Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling to identify potential research avenues and conceptual associations, while text mining analysis is used to uncover research gaps. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection (1975-2024), yielding 1299 records. Various analytical tools, including Citespace, VOSviewer, and R's bibliometrix package, were used for data analysis and visualization. The LDA algorithm was applied for topic modeling. Results: The analysis revealed an increasing trend in publications and citations, with Brazil leading in research output. Key authors and journals were identified, highlighting a shift in research focus from epidemiology and clinical manifestations to treatment methods, drug development, and pathogen classification. Topic modeling identified five major research directions. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights the interdisciplinary nature of sporotrichosis research and identifies critical areas for future investigation, including pathogenesis, diagnostic improvements, and novel therapeutic strategies. Enhanced international collaboration and resource sharing are essential to address the challenges posed by sporotrichosis, ultimately improving public health outcomes related to this disease.
