Pediatric Renal Osteodystrophy: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends and Emerging Themes.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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: Pediatric Renal Osteodystrophy (pROD) is a significant complication of chronic kidney disease prevalent in pediatric patients that contributes to impaired bone growth, bone pain, deformities, fractures, and reduced quality of life. Despite its clinical significance, the evolution of research on this topic has not been previously analyzed through bibliometric analysis. Objective: To analyze worldwide trends in publications, key players, collaborations, and emerging topics of pediatric renal osteodystrophy literature. Methods: We performed bibliometric analyses on 768 related papers from Web of Science Core Collection published from 1971 to 2026 utilizing VOSviewer. Publication quantity, author characteristics, subject categories, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrences, and co-citations were assessed. Results: Research output grew markedly after 2005 and stabilized after reaching its peak in 2013 and 2020. Urology & Nephrology and Pediatrics dominated research disciplines. Salusky IB was the most prolific author, and Pediatric Nephrology was the top journal. Keywords/citations indicated progression from initial bone histology/RO classification studies to current examination of CKD-MBD, mineral metabolism, FGF-23 biology, and therapy. Conclusions: From focusing on skeletal concerns, pediatric renal osteodystrophy research has developed into a CKD-associated mineral and bone disorder. Future efforts need to address nutrition, post-transplant bone pathologies, and neglected global populations.
