Abstract
Background: The gut-brain axis (GBA) represents a complex, bidirectional communication network that connects the central nervous system (CNS) and the gastrointestinal system. Our study aimed to explore the correlation between the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating diseases from a bibliometric perspective, focusing on research since 2014.
Methods: A comprehensive search was carried out on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to locate studies on the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating diseases, with a focus on publications from 1 January 2014 to 29 March 2024. We visualized and analyzed the data using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Charticulator.
Results: We gathered 429 scholarly articles on the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating disorders published in the past 10 years. Research concerning the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating diseases has demonstrated a consistent increase in frequency over time. The USA has the highest number of publications, while Canada has the highest average number of citations, reaching as high as 3,429, which is greater than that of the USA. Moreover, the journal with the highest number of publications was Frontiers in Immunology, with 33 publications and 1,494 citations. The majority of the scholars focused on "multiple sclerosis" and "gut microbiota," which are the primary keywords in the field of the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating diseases.
Conclusion: This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of existing research investigating the correlation between the intestinal microbiota and demyelinating diseases. Using advanced bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer and CiteSpace, this study analyzed the intricate relationship between the intestinal microbiota and the pathogenesis of demyelinating conditions. In addition, the study used literature statistical analysis to identify research hotspots and future directions in the field.
背景：肠脑轴（GBA）是连接中枢神经系统（CNS）和胃肠道系统的一个复杂的双向通信网络。我们的研究旨在从文献计量学的角度探讨肠道微生物群与脱髓鞘疾病的相关性，重点研究2014年以来的研究。方法：在Web of Science Core Collection （WoSCC）上进行全面检索，定位肠道微生物群和脱髓鞘疾病的研究，重点检索2014年1月1日至2024年3月29日的出版物。我们使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和Charticulator对数据进行可视化和分析。结果：我们收集了过去10 年中发表的关于肠道微生物群和脱髓鞘疾病的429篇学术文章。关于肠道微生物群和脱髓鞘疾病的研究表明，随着时间的推移，频率持续增加。美国的论文发表次数最多，加拿大的平均被引次数最多，达到3429次，高于美国。发表论文最多的期刊是《免疫学前沿》（Frontiers in Immunology），发表论文33篇，被引用1494次。大多数学者关注的是“多发性硬化症”和“肠道微生物群”，这是肠道微生物群和脱髓鞘疾病领域的主要关键词。结论：本研究对已有的肠道菌群与脱髓鞘疾病相关性的研究进行了综合分析。利用先进的文献计量工具，如VOSviewer和CiteSpace，本研究分析了肠道微生物群与脱髓鞘疾病发病机制之间的复杂关系。此外，本研究采用文献统计分析法，确定了该领域的研究热点和未来发展方向。
期刊介绍：
Neural Technology is devoted to the convergence between neurobiology and quantum-, nano- and micro-sciences. In our vision, this interdisciplinary approach should go beyond the technological development of sophisticated methods and should contribute in generating a genuine change in our discipline.
