With an increasing number of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and availability of many pharmacological treatment options, there is an urgent need to develop and validate IBS biomarkers for prognostication and selection of patients for treatment and monitoring. The usage of investigations is limited because of its invasive nature, poor patient acceptability, and sampling variability. The bibliometric analysis of biomarker discovery of IBS articles will help in understanding current research trends of biomarkers study of IBS.
To study the most highly cited articles from literature search on the biomarker for IBS to provide simple educational source.
A bibliometric literature review-the electronic search by terms and keywords were searched in PubMed databases. The commonly cited article was searched from 1985 to 2023. The total citation number was received from knowledge search engines like Google Scholar. Articles were classified according to number of citations, year of publication, journal name, authors, publications from continents of countries of origin, research hotspots, and article title. The articles written in English and other languages were included in the analysis.
Total number of articles found was 1,449. The mean number of citations per article was 177. The citation count ranged from 24 to 1,191. The articles with citations >30 were included in the study. The majority of articles ( = 175) were published between 2016 and 2023. Among the highly cited articles, the most prevalent topic of interest was biomarker discovery. Most of the articles were original articles. The continent of origin for most of the articles was the United States of America ( = 163), Europe ( = 145), United Kingdom ( = 23), Asia ( = 23), Australia ( = 14), etc. Conclusion: The analysis of articles on biomarker discovery for IBS will help in understanding the requirement for unmet need for the discovery of biomarker for IBS. The current bibliometric study has highlighted the work of authors with advanced knowledge about discovery of the biomarker for IBS. This study will help to identify the current trends in the biomarker discovery for IBS and help for the further evolution of the field.
随着肠易激综合征（IBS）患者数量的增加和众多药物治疗选择的出现，迫切需要开发和验证用于预测和选择患者进行治疗和监测的 IBS 生物标志物。由于其侵袭性、患者接受度差和采样变异性，因此对该调查的使用受到限制。对 IBS 文章中生物标志物发现的文献计量分析将有助于了解当前 IBS 生物标志物研究的研究趋势。
研究 IBS 生物标志物文献检索中被引用最多的文章，提供简单的教育资源。
文献计量学文献回顾-通过术语和关键词在 PubMed 数据库中进行电子搜索。从 1985 年至 2023 年搜索常被引用的文章。从知识搜索引擎（如 Google Scholar）中获得总引用数。根据引用次数、发表年份、期刊名称、作者、出版物来源国家的大洲、研究热点和文章标题对文章进行分类。包括用英语和其他语言撰写的文章。
共发现文章 1449 篇。每篇文章的平均引用数为 177。引用次数范围为 24 至 1191。将引用数>30 的文章纳入研究。大多数文章（=175）发表于 2016 年至 2023 年。在被引用较多的文章中，最常见的研究主题是生物标志物发现。大多数文章为原创文章。文章来源最多的大洲是美国（=163）、欧洲（=145）、英国（=23）、亚洲（=23）、澳大利亚（=14）等。
对 IBS 生物标志物发现的文章进行分析将有助于了解对 IBS 生物标志物发现的未满足需求。当前的文献计量学研究突出了对 IBS 生物标志物发现具有先进知识的作者的工作。这项研究将有助于确定 IBS 生物标志物发现的当前趋势，并有助于该领域的进一步发展。
