It is widely used to evaluate the merit of applications for academic positions and to assess the standing of journals and institutions. This bibliometric analysis is aimed at identifying the growth and trends of nasogastric tube (NGT) research in pediatric settings, evaluating source productivity, and examining the scholarly impact of NGT research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a bibliometric analysis of pediatric NGT nursing literature indexed (search executed 02 March 2024; updated 10 September 2025). Records were retrieved from Scopus and analyzed with Bibliometrix\/Biblioshiny (R). To enhance interpretability with a modest corpus, we reported year\u2010normalized citations, h\u2010\/g\u2010\/m\u2010indices, and used fractional counting for co\u2010authorship and country analyses. We mapped co\u2010citation, bibliographic coupling, co\u2010word\/thematic evolution, and performed robustness checks (parameter thresholds, field restrictions, and time\u2010window trims).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Seventy\u2010nine publications were identified.
