Structural and temporal dynamics of pediatric influenza prevention and treatment: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of historical evolution and emerging trends.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 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: Pediatric influenza remains a significant global public health challenge, driving continuous advancements in vaccines, antiviral therapies, and infection control strategies. As the volume of related literature expands rapidly, systematically synthesizing these developments is essential. Therefore, this study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of pediatric influenza prevention and treatment research. By examining structural and temporal trends in the literature, it aims to identify historical evolution, research hotspots, and emerging trends. Methods: Data were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for studies on pediatric influenza prevention and treatment (1994-2024). Bibliometric tools such as CiteSpace, HistCite and Alluvial Generator were used to conduct multidimensional visual analyses of publication trends, highly cited literature, academic collaboration networks, keyword clustering, and emergent keywords in the field. Results: Research on pediatric influenza has witnessed extensive international scientific collaboration. Active topics emerged at different time points, with 108 disciplines, 720 keywords, and 1,885 papers with citation bursts. Keyword clustering revealed six emerging research subfields: #1 influenza a, #2 immunization, #3 oseltamivir, and so on. Keyword alluvial maps revealed that the most persistent research themes were live attenuated influenza vaccine, neuraminidase (NA), and response, and the emerging keywords are syncytial virus, acute respiratory illness, and immunization. Recent reference clustering further delineated five cutting-edge subfields: #2 baloxavir, #3 vaccine effectiveness, and so forth. Conclusions: Research on pediatric influenza prevention and control has undergone three distinct phases, with current studies focusing on interactions with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), vaccine hesitancy, influenza vaccine efficacy, and antiviral drug resistance mechanisms. Future research should prioritize elucidating influenza mixed infection pathways, accelerating broad-spectrum vaccine development, and innovating antiviral treatment regimens. Concurrently, strengthening public health interventions and health communication mechanisms is crucial for enhancing global influenza prevention and control efficacy among children.
