Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a recognized precancerous condition associated with gastric cancer (GC). Although previous bibliometric analyses have separately examined GC or CAG, few studies have comprehensively explored their interrelationship. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to evaluate research progress, identify developmental trends and hotspots, and provide guidance for future studies addressing the association between GC and CAG.
Publications concerning GC and CAG were retrieved from the Web of Science database, covering studies published between 1 January 2003 and 5 March 2025. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.
In total, 1062 articles published from 2003 to 2025 were included, revealing a steady increase in publications each year. China, Japan, and the USA were the most productive countries. China Medical University contributed the highest number of publications, while Yuan, Y, and Correa, P were identified as the most productive and highly cited authors. Although numerous journals have contributed to the field, World Journal of Gastroenterology and Gastroenterology the emerged as leading journals based on publication numbers and citation frequency. Keyword and co-cited reference analysis indicated that factors influencing the progression from CAG to GC and endoscopic resection (ER) represent current research hotspots. Furthermore, future research trends are likely to emphasize GC screening, diagnosis, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
This bibliometric analysis of studies concerning GC and CAG identifies current research hotspots and provides valuable recommendations for future research directions.
慢性萎缩性胃炎（CAG）是一种公认的与胃癌（GC）相关的癌前病变。尽管先前的文献计量分析分别研究了GC或CAG，但很少有研究全面探讨它们之间的相互关系。在本研究中，我们进行了文献计量分析，以评估研究进展，确定发展趋势和热点，并为未来研究GC与CAG之间的关联提供指导。
从Web of Science数据库中检索有关GC和CAG的出版物，涵盖2003年1月1日至2025年3月5日发表的研究。使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace软件进行文献计量和可视化分析。
总共纳入了2003年至2025年发表的1062篇文章，显示每年的出版物数量稳步增加。中国、日本和美国是发文量最多的国家。中国医科大学的发文量最高，而Yuan, Y和Correa, P被确定为发文量最多且被引用次数最多的作者。尽管众多期刊都对该领域有所贡献，但基于发表数量和引用频率，《世界胃肠病学杂志》和《胃肠病学》成为领先期刊。关键词和共被引参考文献分析表明，影响CAG向GC进展的因素和内镜切除术（ER）是当前的研究热点。此外，未来的研究趋势可能会强调GC筛查、诊断以及人工智能（AI）技术的应用。
这项关于GC和CAG研究的文献计量分析确定了当前的研究热点，并为未来的研究方向提供了有价值的建议。
