Evolution and paradigms in ion channel and cardiac remodeling: A bibliometric analysis (1979-2024).
Article in Medicine, 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
objectiveThis study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature on the role of ion channels in cardiac remodeling.
methodsArticles on ion channels and cardiac remodeling from 1979 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Bibliometric analysis and visualization utilized CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package "bibliometrix." The analysis examined publication trends, citation patterns, influential journals, countries, authors, institutions, and keywords.
resultsThis study analyzed 1148 articles (1979-2024) on ion channels and cardiac remodeling, involving 6931 authors from 3709 institutions. Annual publications peaked at 82 in 2019, with the U.S. leading. The most cited paper appeared in Circulation Research (2014). Circulation published the most studies (65), while Cardiovascular Research had the strongest links. Stanley Nattel was the top author, and the University of Montreal/Montreal Heart Institute ranked highest among institutions. Research hotspots included therapeutic strategies, potassium/calcium channel remodeling, and clinical implications. Key keywords were "expression," "heart failure," and "mechanisms," with "dysfunction" exhibiting the strongest citation burst. Emerging focal points include fibrosis, oxidative stress, and microRNAs.
conclusionsFuture bibliometric trends highlight targeting ion channels as a prominent research direction, warranting further mechanistic and clinical evidence synthesis for precision therapy development.
