Smoking cessation is an efficient approach to reducing disease burden. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal drugs are often used to help quit smoking. However, there is a lack of overarching bibliometric analysis of the clinical research on smoking cessation focusing on TCM. The aim of our study is to explore the current patterns and trends of TCM therapy for smoking cessation through bibliometric methods with visual presentation.
This study is an assessment of academic publications retrieved from the Scopus database on smoking cessation using TCM therapy published in the period 2005-2021. Sankey diagram, word-cloud, network analysis, thematic maps, tree-maps, and the collaborative work of authors, institutions and countries, were used to identify research trends on TCM therapy for smoking cessation. The total cited index and H-index (for journals, authors, countries, organizations) were used to identify the trends of worldwide development by R Package and Excel 2016.
There was an upward trend, with some fluctuations, of 1908 articles from 2005 to 2021. The most productive country was China. The top institution in this field was Beijing University. The dominant author that contributed to TCM therapy for smoking cessation was Wang Y, who has the highest H-Index. The most productive cited journals were Liu L, (2011, STROKE) had the highest centrality. The keywords 'acupuncture', 'traditional Chinese medicine', 'colitis', 'hypertension', 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease', 'risk factors' and 'alternative medicine' ranked highest in frequency. The diseases of healthy people concerned mainly cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, hypertension and pregnancy. The diseases of the patients concerned mainly cancer, diabetes, hematopathy, stroke, cardiovascular, diabetes, lung disease, and hypertension. Treatment methods were mainly traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. The research methods mainly included randomized controlled trials that were multi-center and double-blind.
A substantial number of articles on TCM therapy for smoking cessation, mainly focusing on TCM and acupuncture were identified. It is worth noting that research that focused on TCM therapy for smoking cessation also was related to COVID-19.
戒烟是减轻疾病负担的有效途径。针灸、指压和草药等中医治疗方法常被用于帮助戒烟。然而，缺乏对以中医为主的戒烟临床研究的全面文献计量分析。我们研究的目的是通过文献计量方法和可视化展示来探索中医戒烟疗法的当前模式和趋势。
本研究是对2005年至2021年期间从Scopus数据库中检索到的使用中医疗法戒烟的学术出版物的评估。使用桑基图、词云、网络分析、主题地图、树形图以及作者、机构和国家的合作情况，来确定中医戒烟疗法的研究趋势。使用R软件包和Excel 2016通过总被引指数和H指数（针对期刊、作者、国家、组织）来确定全球发展趋势。
2005年至2021年有1908篇文章，呈上升趋势且有一些波动。发文量最多的国家是中国。该领域的顶尖机构是北京大学。对中医戒烟疗法贡献最大的主要作者是王Y，其H指数最高。被引次数最多的期刊是刘L，（2011年，《中风》）具有最高的中心性。“针灸”“中医”“结肠炎”“高血压”“慢性阻塞性肺疾病”“危险因素”和“替代医学”等关键词出现频率最高。健康人关注的疾病主要是心血管疾病、癌症、糖尿病、高血压和妊娠相关疾病。患者关注的疾病主要是癌症、糖尿病、血液病、中风、心血管疾病、糖尿病、肺部疾病和高血压。治疗方法主要是中医和针灸。研究方法主要包括多中心双盲随机对照试验。
识别出了大量关于中医戒烟疗法的文章，主要集中在中医和针灸方面。值得注意的是，专注于中医戒烟疗法的研究也与新冠疫情相关。
