Abstract
Background: Gastrointestinal endoscopy has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. A great many of studies on gastrointestinal endoscopy have been done.
Aim: To analyze the characteristics of top 100 cited articles on gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted. The publications and their features were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection, Science Citation Index-Expanded database. Excel, Web of Science database and SPSS software were used to perform the statistical description and analysis. VOSviewer software and MapChart were responsible for the visualizations.
Results: The top 100 cited articles were published between 1976 and 2022. The guidelines (52%) and clinical trials (37%) are the main article types, and average publication year of the guidelines is much later than that of the clinical trials (2015 vs 1998). Among the clinical trials, diagnostic study (27.0%), cohort study (21.6%), case series (13.5%) and cross-sectional study (10.8%) account for a large proportion. Average citations of different study types and designs of the enrolled studies are of no significant differences. Most of the 100 articles were published by European authors and recorded by the endoscopic journals (65%). Top journals in medicine, such as the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA, also reported studies in this field. The hot spots of involved diseases include neoplasm or cancer-related diseases, inflammatory diseases, obstructive diseases, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and ulcer. Endoscopic surgery, endoscopic therapy and stent placement are frequently studied.
Conclusion: Our research contributes to delineating the field and identifying the characteristics of the most highly cited articles. It is noteworthy that there is a significantly smaller number of clinical trials included compared to guidelines, indicating potential areas for future high-quality clinical trials.
背景：胃肠内镜在胃肠道疾病的诊断和治疗中得到了广泛的应用。人们对胃肠道内窥镜检查进行了大量的研究。目的：分析胃肠道内窥镜前100篇被引文章的特点。方法：进行文献计量学分析。出版物及其特征提取自Web of Science核心馆藏，科学引文索引扩展数据库。采用Excel、Web of Science数据库和SPSS软件进行统计描述和分析。VOSviewer软件和MapChart负责可视化。结果：被引前100位的文章发表时间为1976 - 2022年。指南（52%）和临床试验（37%）是主要的文章类型，指南的平均发表年份远晚于临床试验（2015年vs 1998年）。在临床试验中，诊断研究（27.0%）、队列研究（21.6%）、病例系列研究（13.5%）和横断面研究（10.8%）所占比例较大。不同研究类型和设计的入组研究的平均被引次数无显著差异。100篇文章中大部分由欧洲作者发表并被内镜期刊收录（65%）。《柳叶刀》、《新英格兰医学杂志》和《美国医学会杂志》等顶级医学期刊也报道了这一领域的研究。累及疾病的热点包括肿瘤或癌症相关疾病、炎症性疾病、梗阻性疾病、胃肠道出血和溃疡。内镜手术、内镜治疗和支架放置经常被研究。结论：我们的研究有助于划定领域和识别高被引文章的特征。值得注意的是，与指南相比，纳入的临床试验数量明显减少，这表明了未来高质量临床试验的潜在领域。
