中医药治疗肛周脓肿研究的现状与趋势——基于CiteSpace和VOSviewer的文献计量分析

Current Situation and Trend of Chinese Med-icine Treatment of Perianal Abscess—Bibliometric Analysis Based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer

摘要: 目的：借助文献计量和科学知识图谱方法分析近20年国内外中医药治疗肛周脓肿的研究现状与发展方向，绘制研究热点与重点知识图谱，聚类呈现常见的肛肠疾病、中医药等，探究其可能存在的关联，为临床应用与研究方向提供借鉴。方法：检索四大常用中文数据库(CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed)和核心数据集(WOS) 2003~2022年中医药治疗肛周脓肿相关文献，借助CiteSpace及VOSviewer软件通过发文量、国家、作者及机构合作网络、关键词共现、关键词时间线、关键词突现等方法进行可视化图谱分析。结果：本研究共纳入中文文献622篇、WOS文献398篇，年发文量呈现波动上升的趋势。国家合作以美国、中国为中心，但机构之间合作并不紧密。关键词及被引文献分析显示，研究整体质量有待提高，少见对中医药治疗肛周脓肿的机制进行深入研究。结论：1) 从研究趋势来看，近20年对该领域的研究热点日益上升，临床研究趋于多元化和细致化，研究范围越来越大。2) 从研究领域来看，当前中医药研究肛周脓肿的领域存在机构分散性和地域局限性，机构发文量不高，国家学术交流封闭式，合作微弱难以形成强联系。3) 从研究成果来看，国内以综述类文献为主导，WOS中研究类型以系统评价和随机对照试验(RCT)为主，两者均存在临床研究质量总体偏低，未见突破性的机制探索成果。

Abstract: Objective: To analyze the research status and development direction of traditional Chinese medi-cine treatment of perianal abscess at home and abroad in the past 20 years by means of bibliomet-rics and scientific knowledge atlas, draw the research hotspots and key knowledge atlas, cluster common anorectal diseases and traditional Chinese medicine, explore their possible correlation, and provide references for clinical application and research direction. Methods: Literature on the treatment of perianal abscess with traditional Chinese medicine from 2003 to 2022 was searched in four commonly used Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed) and core dataset (WOS). With the help of CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, the visualization map was analyzed by the number of publications, the cooperation network of countries, authors and institutions, keyword co-occurrence, keyword timeline, keyword emergence and other methods. Results: A total of 622 Chinese literatures and 398 WOS literatures were included in this study, and the annual number of publications showed a fluctuating trend. The cooperation between countries is centered on the United States and China, but the cooperation between institutions is not close. The analysis of key words and cited literature shows that the overall quality of research needs to be improved, and there are few in-depth studies on the mechanism of TCM treatment of perianal abscess. Conclusion: 1) From the perspective of research trend, in the past 20 years, the research hotspot in this field has been increasing, and the clinical research has tended to be diversified and detailed, and the re-search scope has become larger and larger. 2) From the perspective of research fields, the current field of Chinese medicine research on perianal abscess has institutional dispersion and regional limitations, the number of institutional publications is not high, the national academic exchanges are closed, and the cooperation is weak and it is difficult to form a strong connection. 3) From the perspective of research results, the domestic literature is dominated by reviews, and the types of WOS studies are mainly systematic review and randomized controlled trial (RCT), both of which have generally low clinical study quality and no breakthrough mechanism exploration results.
