A Bibliometric Analysis of Systematic Reviews in the Field of Ankylosing Spondylitis from 2007 to 2025.

BACKGROUND: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease and the most common clinical form of spinal arthritis. Over the past decades, tremendous progress has been made in systematic reviews on AS. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of AS-related meta-analyses to visualize the hotspots and trends in the field. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted for publications of AS meta-analysis from 2007 to 2025 using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis was performed using the Bibliometrix software package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. RESULTS: In total, 1073 articles were identified, and the number of relevant publications showed annual growth. China, the USA, and England were the most productive countries. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases was the most productive journal (54, 10.65%), Pan Faming was the most productive author (23, 4.54%), and Anhui Medical University (45, 8.88%) was the most productive institution. High-frequency keywords were mainly grouped into five themes: complications, biologics, physical therapy exercises, gut microbiota, and analytical methods. DISCUSSION: This first bibliometric analysis of AS-related EBM research showed a 20-year upward trend in AS meta-analyses, consistent with prior studies. CiteSpace revealed that China (top since 2014) and the USA led in publications (53 countries) but had limited collaboration. Pan Faming (23 articles) was the most active author, and Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases published the most articles. Keyword analysis identified five themes (e.g., AS complications, biologics) and research frontiers: pre-2012 genome-AS links, post-2012 multi-center RCTs, and the recent focus on AS patients' HRQoL. Limitations included database and English-language bias; future meta-analyses should adopt standardized outcomes. CONCLUSION: In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in the number of meta-analyses on AS. This significant increase underscores the importance of this research area. Studies in this field have mainly focused on several key aspects: risk factors, network meta-analysis, and quality- of-life studies. These findings are highly valuable for understanding advancements in ASrelated research and can also encourage researchers and clinicians to focus on both effective medical treatments and the well-being of AS patients.

Bibliometric analysis of retinoblastoma research over the past decade.

BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma (RB), the most prevalent primary intraocular malignancy in children, has emerged as a model disease for exploring the molecular underpinnings of pediatric cancer. Over the past decade, research in this field has accelerated, propelled by advances in genomics, diagnostic imaging, targeted therapies, and global scientific collaboration. METHODS: This study systematically retrieved RB-related publications from 2015 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection. A total of 4990 articles were included. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to perform bibliometric and visual analyses across multiple dimensions, including countries, institutions, authors, journals, and thematic evolution. RESULTS: The United States and China were identified as the leading contributors, jointly accounting for over 40.55% of all publications. US-based journals led in both publication volume and citation impact, underscoring their global influence. Cluster analysis revealed 4 major research domains: clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis; molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways; gene and protein function studies; and research methodologies and experimental models. CONCLUSION: RB research is transitioning into an era of precision oncology, characterized by molecular subtyping, novel therapeutic targets, and individualized treatment approaches. While diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes have markedly improved in high-income countries, significant disparities persist in low- and middle-income regions due to limited access to early detection and comprehensive care. Future priorities should include the refinement of preclinical models, investigation of drug resistance mechanisms, and promotion of international collaboration to standardize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. These efforts are critical to improving global outcomes for children with RB.

From transcriptomic profiling to precision oncology: a bibliometric analysis of RNA sequencing in acute myeloid leukemia.

BACKGROUND: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an important tool for investigating the molecular heterogeneity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, the global development and thematic evolution of this field remain inadequately characterized. OBJECTIVE: To map the global landscape of AML RNA-seq research and identify major knowledge domains, emerging themes, and temporal changes in research priorities. METHODS: Publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus between January 1, 2007, and August 18, 2025, were retrieved. After database filtering, merging, and deduplication, 3,460 articles and reviews were included. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, the bibliometrix R package, and Microsoft Excel were used to analyze publication trends, collaboration networks, co-citation structures, keyword evolution, and citation bursts. RESULTS: Publication output increased steadily, accelerating after 2014. China contributed the largest number of publications (n = 547, 15.8%), whereas the United States had the highest total citation count. Major publication outlets spanned hematology, oncology, genomics, and molecular biology. Co-citation analysis identified prominent themes involving next-generation sequencing, gene mutations, KMT2A rearrangements, epigenetic dysregulation, leukemia-initiating cells, drug resistance, biomarkers, T-cell biology, and single-cell sequencing. Earlier literature emphasized sequencing technologies, gene expression profiling, and molecular alterations, whereas recent publications show increasing representation of cellular heterogeneity, single-cell transcriptomics, drug resistance, biomarker applications, immune-related research, and computational interpretation. CONCLUSION: While molecular characterization remains foundational, AML RNA-seq research has broadened to encompass increasingly prominent cellular, functional, computational, and translational dimensions. This study provides a structured overview of the field; nevertheless, bibliometric prominence should not be interpreted as direct evidence of clinical utility.
