基于CiteSpace和VOSviewer的经典名方治疗心力衰竭研究可视化分析OA

Objective To conduct a visual bibliometric analysis on publications concerning the treatment of heart failure(HF)with classical renowned prescriptions via CiteSpace and VOSviewer,so as to probe the research hot topics and evolving trends in this field.Methods Literatures concerning the treatment of HF with classical renowned prescriptions published from March 2016 to March 2026 were retrieved from CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database(CBM).Visual mapping analysis was performed via CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to analyze annual publication output,core authors and research institutions,keyword clustering as well as the evolutionary trajectory of research.Results A total of 1,398 articles were included.The annual publication volume showed a trend of fluctuating growth followed by a decline.Close collaborative networks have formed around core authors represented by Zhao Fenglin,yet cross-regional synergy among leading institutions like the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine remained insufficient.Keyword analysis yielded nine clusters centered on"Zhenwu decoction",with intervention targets shifting from macroscopic cardiac function improvement to microscopic objective indicators such as ventricular remodeling.The field has evolved through three stages:clinical experience summary(2016-2017),multi-target mechanism exploration(2018-2020),and data mining transition(2021-2026).Conclusion Research has transitioned from symptomatic relief to a new stage of mechanistic exploration and objective evaluation,with big-data-driven medication rule analysis emerging as a new trend.Future efforts should strengthen cross-institutional collaboration and in-depth multi-target mechanism research to promote the modernization of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for HF.
