Global Research Hotspots and Trends in Obesity-Related Venous Thromboembolism (2000-2025): a Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Obesity surgery, 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
introductionObesity is closely associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet no studies have thoroughly investigated this specific area or identified potential future research trends. This study aims to address this issue.
methodsWe searched the Web of Science Core Collection(WoSCC) and Scopus databases for articles on obesity and VTE published between 2000 and 2025. We then used VOSviewer, citeSpace, and the bibliometrix R package to analyze and visualise publication origins, collaboration networks, citations, co-citations, and keywords, research trends.
resultsSince 2000, the number of papers and citations in this field has increased yearly. The United States ranks first in academic influence. The most influential institutions are the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, and Cleveland Clinic. The journals with the greatest impact are "Obesity Surgery," "Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases," and "Thrombosis and Haemostasis." Keyword analysis emphasises the importance of themes such as "bariatric surgery" and "complications", as well as "risk factors" and "Covid-19".
conclusionThis study systematically summarizes obesity-related VTE research and identifies global hotspots and trends. These findings highlight the collaborative models, research focuses, and emerging research areas commonly found in the existing literature, and can serve as a useful reference to inform future research directions and hypothesis development in this field.
