To explore the research hotspots in acupuncture treatment for myopia from 2014 to 2023.
A comprehensive search was conducted in the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) within the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). We used CiteSpace 6.2.R6 to perform an in-depth analysis of the annual publication trends, prolific authors, institutions, keyword co-occurrences, and citation bursts. The study followed the PICO framework: the population (P) includes studies on patients with myopia, the intervention (I) is acupuncture treatment, no direct comparison (C) is applied, and the primary outcome (O) focuses on the identification of research trends and hotspots. Major outcome assessments included the analysis of publication trends over time, author productivity, influential journals, and the detection of emerging research topics through citation burst analysis. This bibliometric analysis was conducted on November 15, 2023.
A total of 281 articles were included in the analysis. The trend line of annual publications over the past decade showed a modest increase, with a significant decline in 2019 and a surge in 2021. China and its affiliated academic institutions led globally in publication volume, with Ma Xiaopeng being the most prolific author and Fudan University the most influential institution. emerged as the journal with the highest citation frequency. The most frequently occurring keywords were related to adolescent myopia and its complications. The developmental trajectory of the field is distinct, characterized by the integration of a single discipline.
Acupuncture shows promise as a complementary and alternative therapy for treating myopia, with growing interest in its clinical efficacy and mechanisms of action. Future research is likely to focus on optimizing treatment protocols and understanding the underlying biological mechanisms of acupuncture in myopia management.
探讨2014年至2023年针灸治疗近视的研究热点。
在科学网核心合集（WOSCC）中的科学引文索引扩展版（SCI-E）中进行全面检索。我们使用CiteSpace 6.2.R6对年度发表趋势、高产作者、机构、关键词共现情况和引文爆发进行深入分析。该研究遵循PICO框架：人群（P）包括对近视患者的研究，干预措施（I）是针灸治疗，不进行直接比较（C），主要结局（O）侧重于识别研究趋势和热点。主要结局评估包括分析随时间的发表趋势、作者产出、有影响力的期刊，以及通过引文爆发分析检测新兴研究主题。这项文献计量分析于2023年11月15日进行。
分析共纳入281篇文章。过去十年的年度发表趋势线呈适度上升，2019年显著下降，2021年激增。中国及其附属学术机构在发表量上全球领先，马晓鹏是高产作者，复旦大学是最具影响力的机构。 成为被引频次最高的期刊。最常出现的关键词与青少年近视及其并发症相关。该领域的发展轨迹独特，以单一学科的整合为特征。
针灸作为治疗近视的补充和替代疗法显示出前景，对其临床疗效和作用机制的兴趣日益增加。未来的研究可能会集中在优化治疗方案以及了解针灸在近视管理中的潜在生物学机制上。
