Pulse Brain · Literature Trends

How is the science trending?

Frequency of publication across our 13,500+-record peer-reviewed catalogue. Track ten-year trajectories on four core topics, see where each is heading by 2027, then drill into any term yourself.

Forecast · next two years

Four topics, ten years of data, two years projected

Click a topic to focus the chart, dim the others, and reveal its 95% confidence band. Forecasts use Poisson regression with an exposure offset for the partial current year.

Methodology. Each topic is fit with a Poisson regression on annual catalogue-match counts; the partial current year is included via a log(exposure) offset (proper handling, not naive Q1 × 4). The shaded band when a topic is focused is the 95% confidence interval. Pure exponential is reasonable one or two years out — beyond that, switch to a logistic curve. Numbers verified live from the catalogue on page load.

How to read this. The chart shows the count of catalogue records per period that contain your term in the title, topic, authors, or journal field. It is a measure of publication attention, not of scientific consensus — a rising line means the term is being written about more often, not necessarily that the underlying claim is becoming more accepted. Use the top-papers list per period to read what's actually being said.

Pulse Brain is curated for UK relevance. International literature is included when it bears on UK food and health, but the catalogue is not exhaustive of all global research on a topic.
