Current Status and Trends in Research Relating to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Meniere's Disease: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in The journal of international advanced otology, 2025. 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
backgroundMeniere's disease (MD) is a challenging vestibular disorder causing vertigo and hearing loss, significantly impacting patients' quality of life.
methodsA bibliometric analysis of MD-related literature (up to September 2023) from Web of Science and PubMed was conducted, using R and VOSviewer to assess publication trends, key authors, institutions, and research topics.
resultsThe literature review through September 2023 identified 1337 publications showing steady growth (5.33% annually). These works involved 3130 authors across 198 journals, with 26% appearing in 3 leading journals: Laryngoscope, Acta Oto-Laryngologica, and Otology & Neurotology-the latter showing particularly rapid growth. The U.S. produced the most publications and collaborations, followed by the U.K. and Japan. Research primarily focused on diagnostic methods, treatments, and influencing factors.
conclusionMeniere's disease research is expanding, but etiology remains unclear. Emerging diagnostic tools like vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials, cochlear electrograms, and magnetic resonance imaging may improve MD differentiation. Treatment optimization remains crucial, with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emerging as a key research focus-though it requires larger clinical trials and standardized protocols. Genetic advances have linked MD risk to MITF and SOX10 genes, with further genetic discoveries representing a promising future direction.
