Research trends and emerging themes of magnetic resonance imaging in endometrial cancer: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 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
objectivesEndometrial cancer is a growing global health concern, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is central to its diagnosis, staging, and management. This study used a descriptive bibliometric approach to map the research landscape, identify emerging themes, and characterize global collaboration in MRI‑related endometrial cancer research over the past four decades.
methodsThis study searched Web of Science Core Collection for English-language original articles on MRI in endometrial cancer published from 1984 to 2024. Using Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometric.com, we described publication trends, main contributors, collaboration networks, and research hotspots. Only network- and frequency-based analyses were performed; no inferential statistics or causal analyses were done.
resultsA total of 1,165 publications by 6,067 authors from 3,676 institutions in 256 countries/regions were identified, showing sustained growth in research activity. China, Japan, and the USA were the most productive countries. Key journals included Radiology, European Radiology, and Gynecologic Oncology. Co-authorship and institutional analyses indicated extensive international cooperation, particularly among centers such as the University of Bergen and Kyoto University. Keyword co-occurrence and burst analyses identified four main thematic clusters: (1) diagnostic imaging and pathology, (2) multi-modality imaging and disease management, (3) clinical outcomes and therapeutic approaches, and (4) prognostic assessment and staging. Recent studies have increasingly focused on advanced imaging analytics, with emerging hotspots in "radiomics," "nomogram," and "risk assessment".
conclusionMRI research in endometrial cancer has grown and become more diverse, with increasing international collaboration. New work on radiomics, artificial intelligence (AI), and prognostic models points toward more personalized imaging but is still mainly experimental. As a descriptive bibliometric study, this work does not judge the quality or clinical readiness of specific methods. Standardized MRI protocols, better access in low-resource settings, and prospective validation of radiomics and AI tools are needed to turn these trends into real benefits for patients.
