Visualization analysis of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of uveitis in CNKI based on Citespace
Objective To explore the current research situation,trends,and hotspots of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of uveitis in China.Methods This study conducted a quantitative analysis of academic journals on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)from December 27,1955 to De-cember 31,2022 using the data analysis software CiteSpace 6.1R6.Results After screening,514 articles were included.The statistical analysis of annual publication volume showed an overall upward trend in this research area and a plateau in the last two years.This field has formed a close core writer group centered on Hao Xiaobo and Bi Hongsheng.The research hotspots include the substitution or combination of traditional Chinese medicine with hormone drugs to reduce side effects,new traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods such as traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and acupoint catgut embedding,and the impact of traditional Chinese medicine treatment on immune mechanisms.Conclusion The development of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of uveitis is in a steady progress stage,focusing on clinical observation,lacking basic experimental research,and basic theory and mechanism research are still in the development stage.Scholars and institutions in China need to further strengthen cooperation and in-depth research to ex-plore new areas of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for uveitis.(Int Rev Ophthalmol,2024,48:75-80,Cover Ⅲ)
