基于CiteSpace的中医药抗呼吸道合胞病毒感染研究文献可视化分析OA

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the current status and hot spots of traditional Chinese medicine for anti-respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection based on bibliometrics methods and literature visual analysis techniques,and to reveal the research trends and cutting-edge issues in this field.METHODS:CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,and CBM were retrieved to collect relevant literature from Jan.1988 to Jan.2025.CiteSpace software was used to analyze the number of publications,author collaborations,institutional collaborations,keyword co-occurrences,clustering,and emergence.RESULTS:A total of 1 105 eligible papers were screened and included.The research on traditional Chinese medicine for anti-RSV was divided into four stages:the formative stage,the rapid development stage,the fluctuative progression stage,and the bottleneck development stage.In this field,Prof.WANG Shouchuan and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were the most prominent core research scholars and institutions,yet there was insufficient collaborative capacity in the field.Comprehensive analysis of the keywords showed that the research hot spots focused on clinical research and experimental exploration of traditional Chinese medicine for anti-RSV,while the cutting-edge topic was the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine for RSV-associated wheezing disorders.CONCLUSIONS:Traditional Chinese medicine has demonstrated better application potential in the treatment of anti-RSV infection.Future research should focus on the validation of clinical efficacy and in-depth exploration of mechanism of more classical formulas,while strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-institutional research cooperation.
