To use the bibliographic data of publications regarding the association between orofacial cleft (OC) and cancer to examine the implications of publication growth, co-citation, co-words, and authorship networks using bibliometric indicators and network visualization.
Bibliometric study analyzed documents related to the association between OC and cancer. Data were obtained in October 2023 from the Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science. The search strategy was developed, and data obtained were imported into R ("bibliometrix") for analysis. Results: 70 documents were found from 1977 to 2023. Most were journal articles (90.0%) designed as case-control studies (42.8%). American Journal of Epidemiology was the most relevant source. The most cited document was Frebourg T, et al. (2006). Vieira A, Martelli-Junior were the most cited author. Most authors were affiliated to Brazil (University of Montes Claros) and United States (University of Pittsburgh). Research in this thematic has included children and adults of both sexes. Research trend points to gastric cancer, leukemia and breast cancer as the most investigated cancers in association to OC.
This bibliometric analysis helps fill research gaps regarding the knowledge of the relationship between OC and cancer, providing some clues for selecting future research in this topic.
利用有关口面裂（OC）和癌症之间关联的出版物书目数据，使用文献计量指标和网络可视化技术，检查出版物增长、共引、共词和作者网络的影响。
对与 OC 和癌症相关的文献进行了文献计量学研究。数据于 2023 年 10 月从 Scopus、PubMed 和 Web of Science 中获得。制定了搜索策略，并将获得的数据导入 R（“bibliometrix”）进行分析。结果：从 1977 年到 2023 年共发现了 70 篇文献。其中大多数是期刊文章（90.0%），设计为病例对照研究（42.8%）。《美国流行病学杂志》是最相关的来源。被引最多的文献是 Frebourg T 等人（2006 年）的研究。最常被引的作者是 Vieira A 和 Martelli-Junior。大多数作者隶属于巴西（蒙特克莱尔大学）和美国（匹兹堡大学）。该主题的研究包括儿童和成人（两性）。研究趋势表明，胃癌、白血病和乳腺癌是与 OC 关联最密切的癌症。
本文献计量分析有助于填补有关 OC 和癌症之间关系的知识空白，为该主题的未来研究提供了一些线索。
