Bibliometric analysis and visualization of research trends in total mesorectal excision in the past twenty years

Current and future research directions in cellular metabolism of colorectal cancer: A bibliometric analysis

The primary aim of this study was to analyze the evolving trends and key focal points in research on cellular metabolism of colorectal cancer (CRC). Relevant publications on cellular metabolism in CRC were sourced from the Science Citation Index Expanded within the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) software and CiteSpace 6.1.R6 (64-bit) Basic. A comprehensive compilation of 4722 English-language publications, covering the period from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2022, was carefully identified and included in the analysis. Among the authors, “Ogino, Shuji” contributed the most publications in this field, while “Giovannucci, E” garnered the highest number of citations. The journal “Cancer Research” ranked first in both publication volume and citations. Institutionally, “Shanghai Jiao Tong University” emerged as the top contributor in terms of published articles, while “Harvard University” led in citation impact. In country-based analysis, the United States held the top position in both publication output and citations, closely followed by China. The increasing recognition of the significance of cellular metabolism in CRC underscores its potential for novel therapeutic approaches aimed at improving CRC management and prognosis.

Intestinal barrier in inflammatory bowel disease: A bibliometric analysis

The primary objective of this investigation was to examine the evolving trajectories and pivotal focal points within the domain of research on intestinal barriers with regard to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Publications germane to the intestinal barrier in the context of IBD were procured from the Science Citation Index Expanded within the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric scrutiny and visualization were executed employing the R package "bibliometrix" through the R software platform (version: 4.3.0). A comprehensive compilation of 7344 English-language articles spanning from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2021 was meticulously identified and included in the analysis. Remarkably, China emerged as the preeminent force in the realm of intestinal barrier research in relation to IBD. The significance of the intestinal barrier in the context of IBD has been progressively and comprehensively acknowledged. This recognition has ushered in a fresh therapeutic perspective that offers the promise of enhancing the management of inflammation and prognostication.
