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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual progression. A significant pathophysiology of its development and evolution is neuroinflammation. A previous review assessed the neuroinflammation research in PD, but limitations in its search period and analytical methods restricted its ability to reflect the full landscape of the field and recent research trends. To solve this problem, we performed a bibliometric and visual review in order to describe the current state of research and outline the recent progress in PD-related neuroinflammation. The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Scopus were searched to retrieve a total of 5,926 publications published between January 1, 2015 and September 23, 2025. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the bibliometrix R package were used to perform a comprehensive bibliometric and visualization analysis. The results showed that China produced the largest number of publications in this field, accounting for 30.75% of the total. At the institutional level, the University of California System and Shanghai Jiao Tong University were among the leading contributors. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences was the most productive journal in this field. Among individual authors, Wang, Q.S. Zhang, F. and Cuzzocrea, S. were the most prolific contributors, whereas McGeer, P.L. was the most frequently co-cited author. Keyword analysis further identified three major research themes: fundamental pathological mechanisms, clinical diagnosis, and intervention strategies. Overall, this study provides a systematic overview of the current research landscape, principal themes, and emerging directions in neuroinflammation research on PD by means of bibliometric analysis.
