Global trends and advances in pediatric bronchiolitis treatment in the last two decades: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic 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: Bronchiolitis, a leading respiratory disease in infants, causes substantial global morbidity. This is the first study to employ bibliometric analysis to explore global trends and progress in pediatric bronchiolitis treatment, addressing a previously unexamined gap. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection on January 31, 2025, encompassing publications between 2004 and 2024. The bibliometric analysis utilized VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" for data visualization, network analysis, and the identification of research hotspots. Results: A total of 1,370 articles were included in this study. The United States emerged as the leading contributor with 403 articles, followed by China [101] and the United Kingdom [79]. The most prolific institutions included Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris and Harvard University. Notable journals such as Conclusions: Research on pediatric bronchiolitis over the past 20 years has focused on optimizing treatment, particularly respiratory support, anti-respiratory syncytial virus therapy, and guideline-based care. Emerging trends emphasize prevention, infection control, and high-quality clinical trials to improve patient outcomes.
