Abstract

Background: According to recent studies, prostate cancer (PCa) is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, there has not been any bibliometric visual analysis of relevant papers. In order to acquire knowledge about research settings and possible future paths, a thorough bibliometric study of MetS-related PCa research was carried out.

Methods: From January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2023, original and review publications about MetS and PCa were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. Analysis of co-authorship and co-occurrence was done using VOSviewer. To find the top terms with the greatest citation burst, CiteSpace was used.

Results: There were 1,296 publications on PCa and MetS in all. The analysis showed that the number of yearly scientific papers in the sector was on the rise. The three most productive nations were China, Italy, and the USA. Most papers were published in the PLoS One, while most citations were obtained by the European Urology. The most influential author in terms of citations was Professor Smith MR, whereas the most prolific author was Professor Freedland SJ. Keyword analysis revealed that, apart from PCa and MetS, "obesity" was the most often used phrase, with "risk", "meta-analysis", and "inflammation" appearing as study subjects. Furthermore, "components" and "sex hormones" gained more and more attention.

Conclusions: The findings provide a thorough understanding of the larger context of this field of study. Future studies need to investigate PCa's metabolic processes and inflammatory mechanism. Furthermore, switching from observational research to meta-analysis offers the possibility of illness prediction and tailored therapies. These results may help researchers navigate the most recent advancements and influence the field's future paths.

从肥胖到炎症:前列腺癌和代谢综合征研究的新前沿。
背景:根据最近的研究,前列腺癌(PCa)与代谢综合征(MetS)密切相关。然而,目前还没有相关文献计量学的可视化分析。为了了解研究背景和未来可能的发展路径,我们对mets相关PCa研究进行了全面的文献计量学研究。方法:从Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC)数据库中检索2004年1月1日至2023年12月31日有关MetS和PCa的文献。使用VOSviewer进行合著性和共现性分析。为了找到被引用次数最多的关键词,我们使用了CiteSpace。结果:共发表PCa和MetS文献1296篇。分析显示,该领域每年发表的科学论文数量呈上升趋势。生产率最高的三个国家是中国、意大利和美国。大多数论文发表在PLoS One上,而大多数引用来自欧洲泌尿外科。引用量最大的作者是Smith教授,而最多产的作者是Freedland教授。关键词分析显示,除了PCa和MetS外,“肥胖”是最常使用的短语,“风险”、“meta-analysis”和“炎症”也作为研究对象出现。此外,“成分”和“性激素”也越来越受到关注。结论:这些发现提供了对这一研究领域更大背景的透彻理解。未来的研究需要进一步研究PCa的代谢过程和炎症机制。此外,从观察性研究转向荟萃分析提供了疾病预测和量身定制治疗的可能性。这些结果可能有助于研究人员了解最新的进展,并影响该领域的未来发展方向。
