Nutritional support for pressure injury: a bibliometric analysis of research trends.
Synthesis in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Introduction: Pressure injury (PI) is a common complication closely associated with malnutrition. Nutritional support is critical for PI prevention and healing, but the overall research trends in this field remain unclear. Purpose: This bibliometric analysis aimed to explore trends in research on nutritional support for Pressure Injury (PI) patients, providing insights for healthcare professionals and researchers. Methods: This study is a bibliometric analysis. Relevant English articles were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) and PubMed databases, with the search period spanning from the establishment of each database to February 2026. CiteSpace was employed to analyze the articles. Results: A total of 1,380 publications were included in this study. The number of published articles showed a consistent growth trend, with a significant increase during 2019-2020. Regarding research output, the United States remains the core contributing country in this field, and Griffith University (Australia) ranks first in institutional output; Clinical Nutrition is the journal with the most published relevant studies, and Thomas DR is the most prolific author. Keyword clustering analysis identified 10 core research themes, including Pressure Injury, enteral nutrition, traumatic brain injuries, nursing home, retrospective study, risk factors, geriatric nutritional risk index, nutritional status, and intensive care unit. Emerging research hotspots are: palliative care, wound healing, and nutritional risk stratification factors in critically ill patients. The current research focus has been significantly concentrated on acute or critically ill patient populations. Conclusion: Nutritional support in Pressure Injury (PI) management has garnered growing research attention. Future studies should emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration to develop personalized, evidence-based protocols tailored to diverse patient conditions. Translational research is essential to optimize outcomes, especially for high-risk populations, and targeted nutritional strategies remain pivotal for effective PI management.
