Research hotspots and trends in cerebral infarction and inflammation in China based on CiteSpace visual analysis
Objective To investigate the current status,hotspots,and trends of the research on"cerebral infarc-tion"and"inflammation"in China in the past 10 years using CiteSpace 6.2 R3 software.Methods The three major Chi-nese literature databases,CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang Data,were searched for related articles,and CiteSpace knowledge map was used to analyze the information including the number of publications,authors,institutions,and keywords.Results A total of 997 relevant articles were included,and 9 clusters of keywords were obtained.There was a tendency of increase in the annual number of publications.The research team of Liu Jianyun was the author with the largest number of publications(7 articles),and Henan University of Chinese Medicine was the institution with the largest number of publi-cations(16 articles).The main research hotspots included neuroinflammation,acupuncture,dl-3n-butylphthalide,exo-some,pyroptosis,and intravenous thrombolysis.Conclusion This study uses the knowledge map to visualize the current status,hotspots,and trends of the research on"cerebral infarction"and"inflammation"in the past 10 years,in order to provide a new perspective for the research on the association between"cerebral infarction"and"inflammation".
