Visual Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Intrauterine Adhesion Based on CiteSpace
Objective To understand the research status,hot spots,and development trend of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment of intrauterine adhesion.Methods The articles about TCM treatment of intrauterine adhesion were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)with the time interval from January 1,2000 to De-cember 31,2022.The data format was converted,and the annual publications,authors,research institutions,and keywords were visualized by CiteSpaceV 6.1.R3.The knowledge mapping was performed for the TCM treatment of intrauterine adhe-sion,including the keyword co-occurrence,clustering,and bursts.Results A total of 327 relevant articles were includ-ed,which were published by the research team with Professor You Zhaoling as the core.The research institution with the largest number of publications was Hunan University of Chinese Medicine.The research hot spots mainly included the etiol-ogy,pathogenesis,experience of famous doctors,and the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.The research fron-tiers were associated with the mechanism of action of TCM.Conclusion The studies about TCM treatment of intrauterine adhesion are gradually increasing and deepening.However,researchers and research institutions lack cooperation,and the sample sizes of clinical studies needs to be expanded.The mechanism of action of TCM remains to be studied in depth.
