Global Research Trend of Axillary Osmidrosis: A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis.
Article in Aesthetic plastic 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
backgroundAxillary osmidrosis is a common condition with significant psychosocial implications. Despite growing research interest in recent years, no bibliometric analysis has been conducted in this field. This study aims to provide a knowledge framework and identify research hotspots in this domain using bibliometric methods.
methodsPublications related to axillary osmidrosis from 1990 to 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed. Bibliometric analyses were conducted using VOSviewer, Bibliometrix package of R, and Microsoft Excel.
resultsA total of 252 publications on axillary osmidrosis were included. China led in both publication output (n = 119) and total citations (n = 1321). Chang Gung Memorial Hospital was the most prolific institution (n = 12). Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked first in both publication output and h-index among journals. Highly cited literature primarily focused on foundational research, including odor components, microbiological mechanisms, and genetic susceptibility. Keyword analysis revealed a thematic shift from foundational research on odor chemistry, microbial ecology, and genetics toward clinical application of minimally invasive therapies and patient-centered outcome assessments.
conclusionsResearch on axillary osmidrosis has entered a phase of rapid development, with increasing focus on minimally invasive treatments and individualized care. Future efforts should prioritize cross-regional collaboration, high-quality clinical trials, and translation of mechanistic insights into clinical practice.
