Objective To analyze the research landscape in the field of traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)for chronic non-atrophic gastritis(CNAG)over the past two decades,exploring the de-velopment status,research hotspots,and frontier trends in TCM treatment for CNAG.Methods Rel-evant literature on TCM for CNAG published before April 2024 in the China National Knowledge In-ternet(CNKI)was retrieved,and Citespace 6.3.R1 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 software were used to con-duct a visual analysis of authors,research institutions,keywords,and burst terms.Results A total of 972 relevant articles were included.The analysis revealed an overall upward trend in the number of publications over the past 24 years.Among the authors,Liu Weihong and Li Ping contributed the most publications.Institutions such as Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine produced a significant number of articles.Coop-eration among institutions was mainly reflected in the relationship between universities and their affili-ated hospitals,with sparse cross-regional and cross-institutional collaborations.Keyword and cluster analysis indicated that the field aimed to clarify the mechanism of action,improve the clinical efficacy of medications,and optimize diagnostic and treatment protocols.Key areas of research included TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment,clinical studies,and data mining.Conclusion Research on the treatment of CNAG by Chinese medicine is weak in different regions,institutions and teams,and co-operation should be strengthened to fully tap the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of CNAG.
