Oligodendrogliomas are rare brain tumors arising from oligodendrocytes; there is a limited understanding of their pathogenesis, which leads to challenges in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the oligodendroglioma literature to assess the current state of research, identify research trends, and elucidate implications for future research. The Lens database was used to retrieve journal articles related to "oligodendroglioma" without geographic or temporal restrictions. Year-on-year trends in publication and funding were analyzed. Global and gender equity were assessed using the NamsorApplication programming interface. Collaboration patterns were explored using network visualizations. Keyword analysis revealed the most prominent themes in oligodendroglioma research. Out of 9701 articles initially retrieved, 8381 scholarly journal articles were included in the final analysis. Publication trends showed a consistent increase until 2020, followed by a sharp decline likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global representation revealed researchers from 86 countries, with limited participation from low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Gender inequity was evident, with 78.7% of researchers being male. Collaboration analysis revealed a highly interconnected research community. Prognosis, genetic aberrations (particularly "IDH" mutations), and therapeutic options (including chemotherapy and radiotherapy) emerged as dominant research themes. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted oligodendroglioma research funding and publication trends, highlighting the importance of robust funding mechanisms. Global and gender inequities in research participation underscore the need for fostering inclusive collaboration, especially in LMICs. The interconnected research community presents opportunities for knowledge exchange and innovation. Keyword analysis highlights current research trends and a shift to genetic and molecular understanding.
少突胶质细胞瘤是起源于少突胶质细胞的罕见脑肿瘤;人们对其发病机制的了解有限,这给诊断、预后和治疗带来了挑战。本研究旨在对少突胶质细胞瘤文献进行全面的文献计量分析,以评估当前的研究状况,确定研究趋势,并阐明对未来研究的启示。使用Lens数据库检索与“少突胶质细胞瘤”相关的期刊文章,不受地理或时间限制。分析了出版物和资金的逐年趋势。使用Namsor应用程序编程接口评估全球和性别公平性。使用网络可视化探索合作模式。关键词分析揭示了少突胶质细胞瘤研究中最突出的主题。在最初检索的9701篇文章中,最终分析纳入了8381篇学术期刊文章。出版趋势显示,直到2020年一直呈持续上升趋势,随后可能由于新冠疫情而急剧下降。全球代表性显示有来自86个国家的研究人员,低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)的参与有限。性别不平等明显,78.7%的研究人员为男性。合作分析揭示了一个高度互联的研究群体。预后、基因畸变(特别是“异柠檬酸脱氢酶”突变)和治疗选择(包括化疗和放疗)成为主要的研究主题。新冠疫情影响了少突胶质细胞瘤的研究资金和出版趋势,凸显了强大资金机制的重要性。研究参与中的全球和性别不平等强调了促进包容性合作的必要性,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。互联的研究群体为知识交流和创新提供了机会。关键词分析突出了当前的研究趋势以及向基因和分子理解的转变。
