Abstract

BACKGROUND

The intestinal microcirculation functions in food absorption and metabolic substance exchanges. Accumulating evidence indicates that intestinal microcirculatory dysfunction is a significant source of multiple gastrointestinal diseases. To date, there has not been a scientometric analysis of intestinal microcirculatory research.

AIM

To investigate the current status, development trends, and frontiers of intestinal microcirculatory research based on bibliometric analysis.

METHODS

VOSviewer and CiteSpace 6.1.R2 were used to identify the overall characteristics and knowledge map of intestinal microcirculatory research based on the core literature published from 2000 to 2021 in the Web of Science database. The characteristics of each article, country of origin, institution, journal, cocitations, and other information were analyzed and visualized.

RESULTS

There were 1364 publications enrolled in the bibliometric analysis, exhibiting an upward trend from 2000 to 2021 with increased participation worldwide. The United States and Dalhousie University took the lead among countries and institutions, respectively. Shock was the most prolific journal, and Nature Reviews Microbiology Clinical had the most citations. The topical hotspots and frontiers in intestinal microcirculatory research were centered on the pathological processes of functional impairment of intestinal microvessels, diverse intestinal illnesses, and clinical treatment.

CONCLUSION

Our study highlights insights into trends of the published research on the intestinal microcirculation and offers serviceable guidance to researchers by summarizing the prolific areas in intestinal disease research to date.

Keywords: Intestinal microcirculation; Bibliometric analysis; CiteSpace; VOSviewer; Visualization

Core Tip: This bibliometric analysis of the research directions and important literature related to the intestinal microcirculation over the last 22 years documents the current status, development trends, and frontiers of intestinal microcirculatory research and provides information that may guide future research efforts.
