Abstract

Introduction: Smilax glabra Roxb (SGR) is extensively utilized in the management of disorders, including hyperuricemia and gout, due to its notable pharmacological effects, and it is also the primary component in the functional food turtle jelly. Despite extensive research on SGR, no systematic statistical analysis of the literature has been conducted on it. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of SGR, identifies the current research landscape, identifies hotspots, and performs trend analysis.

Methods: All Chinese and English literatures pertaining to SGR was gathered from Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), China Knowledge Network (CNKI), Wanfang database, and VIP database, subsequently de-duplicated and organized, with CiteSpace software employed for visualization and analysis of the literature.

Results: A total of 1723 articles were incorporated into the analysis, and the quantity of SGR-related publications in English persists in its upward trajectory. Sun Weifeng, Lisa Dong, and Zhang Qingfeng emerged as the principal contributors, while Beijing University of TCM and Zhejiang University of TCM established themselves as the foremost publishing organizations. Noteworthy, keywords indicative of contemporary research focal points encompassed "Chinese medicine treatment," "gout," "anti-inflammatory," and "network pharmacology."

Discussion: The investigation into SGR concentrates on pharmaceuticals and their active components, therapeutic interventions, and pharmacological mechanisms. Recently, anti-inflammatory and cyberpharmacology have emerged as prominent trends, indicating that the integration of animal studies with molecular bioinformatics to investigate the pharmacological mechanism of SGR is the main research direction in the future, while cardiovascular protection and neuroprotective effects have become significant areas of recent inquiry. Consequently, SGR is anticipated to be a functional plant for the treatment of various diseases.

基于CiteSpace的全球菝葜研究趋势及发展前景文献计量学分析

简介：菝葜（Smilax glabra Roxb， SGR）因其显著的药理作用被广泛应用于疾病的治疗，包括高尿酸血症和痛风，也是功能性食物龟胶的主要成分。尽管对SGR进行了广泛的研究，但尚未对其文献进行系统的统计分析。本研究对SGR进行了全面的文献计量分析，确定了当前的研究格局，确定了热点，并进行了趋势分析。方法：从Web of Science Core Collection （WoSCC）、中国知网（CNKI）、万方数据库和VIP数据库中收集与SGR相关的所有中英文文献，进行重复数据删除和整理，利用CiteSpace软件对文献进行可视化分析。结果：纳入分析的文献共1723篇，sgr相关的英文出版物数量呈上升趋势。孙伟峰、董丽莎和张庆峰成为主要贡献者，而北京中医药大学和浙江中医药大学则成为最重要的出版机构。值得注意的是，当代研究重点的关键词包括“中医治疗”、“痛风”、“抗炎”和“网络药理学”。讨论：对SGR的研究集中在药物及其活性成分、治疗干预和药理学机制上。近年来，抗炎和网络药理学已成为突出的发展趋势，表明将动物实验与分子生物信息学相结合来研究SGR的药理学机制是未来的主要研究方向，而心血管保护和神经保护作用已成为近期研究的重要领域。因此，SGR有望成为一种治疗多种疾病的功能性植物。

期刊介绍： In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches. Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
