Objective Interpret the interpretation of intervention description and reporting standards (TIDieR), and further present the domestic and international application status of TIDieR based on knowledge graphs. The aim is to provide references and inspirations for standardized reporting of intervention studies. Methods Provide a detailed interpretation of TIDieR based on examples. Retrieve TIDieR-related literature published in Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science from 2014 to 2024, and conduct visual analysis using CiteSpace6.3.R1 bibliometric software. Results TIDieR consisted of 12 entries, including abbreviated intervention name, implementation rationale, implementation materials, implementation process, implementer, implementation method, implementation site, implementation time and intensity, personalized plan, plan changes, expected effects, and actual effects. The bibliometric analysis included 94 English-language papers and 5 Chinese-language papers. The application of TIDieR was relatively widespread overseas, mainly involving health care, rehabilitation, and digital health fields. Conclusion TIDieR can ensure the standardization and reproducibility of intervention research reports. However, domestic scholars still apply TIDieR less frequently. It is necessary to gradually promote and strengthen the application of TIDieR in future intervention studies, thereby improving the transparency and quality of intervention research reports.
