The ketogenic diet (KD) is a potential nutritional therapy that is frequently utilized in various conditions. More and more studies are being done on KD in recent years. However, as far as we know, few studies have made an effort to offer a thorough synthesis and assessment of this topic. This paper aims to do a rigorous and thorough evaluation of the knowledge structure, development trend, and research hotspot of scientific outputs connected to KD. The bibliographic records connected to KD from January 1, 2001 to April 22, 2022 were collected using the core collection database of Web of Science. The complex data input, that consisted of the amount of publications, journals, authors, institutions, countries, keywords and cited references, was generated and analyzed visually using CiteSpace. A total of 2676 literatures on the KD were published between 2001 and 2022. The most KD-related publications were found in Epilepsia and Epilepsia Research. The authors with the most KD-related papers are Kossoff EH and Rho J. The United States is the country with the most publications, and Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins University Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions are the institutions with the most articles. The high frequency keywords are "KD," "ketone body," "children," "efficacy," "weight loss," "low carbohydrate diet," "metabolism," "epilepsy," "beta hydroxybutyrate," and "modified atkins diet." The 2018 study by Kossoff EH on epilepsia and the 2017 study by Puchalska P on ketone body metabolism earned 127 and 114 citations, respectively. The results of this bibliometric analysis provide information on the state and trends in KD and may be used by researchers to pinpoint hot issues and discover new areas of study.
生酮饮食（KD）是一种潜在的营养治疗方法，常用于各种疾病。近年来，越来越多的研究关注 KD。然而，据我们所知，很少有研究努力对这一主题进行全面综合和评估。本文旨在对与 KD 相关的科学产出的知识结构、发展趋势和研究热点进行严格和全面的评估。使用 Web of Science 核心合集数据库，收集了 2001 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 4 月 22 日与 KD 相关的文献记录。使用 CiteSpace 对包含出版物数量、期刊、作者、机构、国家、关键词和参考文献等复杂数据进行输入和可视化分析。2001 年至 2022 年期间共发表了 2676 篇与 KD 相关的文献。与 KD 相关的文献中，发表数量最多的是 Epilepsia 和 Epilepsia Research。发表 KD 相关文献最多的作者是 Kossoff EH 和 Rho J。发表文献数量最多的国家是美国，发文量最多的机构是约翰霍普金斯大学、约翰霍普金斯大学医院和约翰霍普金斯医学机构。高频关键词是“KD”、“酮体”、“儿童”、“疗效”、“减肥”、“低碳水化合物饮食”、“代谢”、“癫痫”、“β-羟丁酸”和“改良阿特金斯饮食”。Kossoff EH 于 2018 年发表在 epilepsia 上的研究和 Puchalska P 于 2017 年发表在 ketone body metabolism 上的研究分别获得了 127 次和 114 次引用。这项文献计量分析的结果提供了关于 KD 的现状和趋势的信息，研究人员可以利用这些信息来确定热点问题并发现新的研究领域。
