Visual analysis of postpartum hypogalactia treated by traditional Chinese medicine based on Citespace
Objective:To visually analyze the published literature of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia in CNKI using Citespace 6.1 R6,and to summarize the current status,research hotspots and frontier development of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia.Methods:The litera-ture related to the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia by traditional Chinese medicine collected by CNKI from January 1,2010 to December 21,2022 was searched.Citespace 6.1 R6 was used to standardize the data based on bibliometrics,and the publication time,authors,institutions and keywords in the literature were visually analyzed and mapped.Results:A total of 464 articles were included,with a time span of 12 years,and the number of publications increased year by year.There were 359 authors in this field,of which 17 were high-frequency authors.The main research teams were ZHANG Shuying's team and LIU Manfang's team.A total of 525 research institutions were included,among which the headquarters and affiliated hospitals of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine,the headquarters and affiliated hospitals of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and the headquarters and affiliated hospitals of Shan-dong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were the top three institutions with the largest number of publications.A total of 327 keywords were included,forming 11 cluster labels.The top three keywords were'lack of milk','acupoint massage','lactation volume';there were 4 centrality>0.1.Conclusion:The research hotspots of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia are mostly the clinical efficacy observation literature of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine,and the basic research is relatively few.It is necessary to strengthen the min-ing research of basic literature;some institutions have a deep understanding and good research results in this field,but the cooperation between teams and institutions is only internal communication,and there is less cross-regional coopera-tion.Cross-regional communication and cooperation should be strengthened to carry out deeper theoretical innovation.
