Diabetic keratopathy has gained increasing attention due to advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques a. This article presents a visual and bibliometric analysis to illustrate the knowledge network, research hotspots, trends, and potential future directions in this field.
We retrieved articles published since 2000 from the Web of Science and analyzed the authors, institutions, countries, keywords, citations, and co-citations of these articles with VOSviewer and CiteSpace.
A total of 706 highly relevant articles were identified, with the United States, China and England as major contributors; the University of Manchester, Queensland University of Technology and Weill Cornell Medical-Qatar as key institutions; and Malik Rayaz, Efron Nathan and Ferdousi Maryam as prominent authors. High-citation articles have focused mainly on corneal confocal microscopy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Keywords form two clusters: one around complications, diabetes and cornea sensitivity, and another around corneal confocal microscopy and peripheral neuropathy.
The identification of diabetic peripheral neuropathy via corneal confocal microscopy has been a major focus of research in this field, but the mechanisms underlying diabetic corneal neuropathy still require further investigation and breakthroughs.
由于诊断和治疗技术的进步，糖尿病角膜病变越来越受到关注。本文进行了可视化和文献计量分析，以阐明该领域的知识网络、研究热点、趋势及潜在的未来方向。
我们从科学网检索了2000年以来发表的文章，并使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace分析了这些文章的作者、机构、国家、关键词、被引频次和共被引情况。
共确定了706篇高度相关的文章，主要贡献者为美国、中国和英国；主要机构为曼彻斯特大学、昆士兰科技大学和威尔康乃尔医学院卡塔尔分校；杰出作者为马利克·拉亚兹、埃弗龙·内森和费尔杜西·玛丽亚姆。高被引文章主要集中在角膜共焦显微镜检查和糖尿病周围神经病变。关键词形成两个聚类：一个围绕并发症、糖尿病和角膜敏感性，另一个围绕角膜共焦显微镜检查和周围神经病变。
通过角膜共焦显微镜检查识别糖尿病周围神经病变一直是该领域研究的主要重点，但糖尿病角膜神经病变的潜在机制仍需进一步研究和突破。
