This study performed a bibliometric analysis of literature on gut microbiota (GM) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using the Web of Science Core Collection database, analyzed with VOSviewer and Bibliometricx software. A total of 255 original research articles and 204 reviews were included, with the first retrievable publication in 2004 and a growth explosion starting in 2013. China and the United States were the leading contributing countries, and Harvard University had the most output. Frontiers in Immunology had the most publications (total citations = 603), and eLife had the most citations (total citations = 1248).

ABSTRACT

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease. Recently, growing evidence demonstrates that gut microbiota (GM) plays an important role in RA. But so far, no bibliometric studies pertaining to GM in RA have ever been published. This study attempts to depict the knowledge framework in this field from a holistic and systematic perspective based on the bibliometric analysis. Methods Literature related to the involvement of GM in RA was searched and picked from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. The annual output, cooperation, hotspots, research status and development trend of this field were analyzed by bibliometric software (VOSviewer and Bibliometricx). Results 255 original research articles and 204 reviews were included in the analysis. The articles in this field that can be retrieved in WOSCC were first published in 2004 and increased year by year since then. 2013 is a growth explosion point. China and the United States are the countries with the most contributions, and Harvard University is the affiliation with the most output. Frontiers in Immunology (total citations = 603) is the journal with the most publications and the fastest growth rate. eLife is the journal with the most citations (total citations = 1248). Scher, Jose U. and Taneja, Veena are the most productive and cited authors. The research in this field is mainly distributed in the evidence, mechanism and practical application of GM participating in RA through the analysis of keywords and documents. There is sufficient evidence to prove the close relationship between GM and RA, which lays the foundation for this field. This extended two colorful and tender branches of mechanism research and application exploration, which have made some achievements but still have broad exploration space. Recently, the keywords ”metabolites“, ”metabolomics“, ”acid“, ”b cells“, ”balance“, ”treg cells“, ”probiotic supplementation“ appeared most frequently, which tells us that research on the mechanism of GM participating in RA and exploration of its application are the hotspots in recent years. Discussion Taken together, these results provide a data-based and objective introduction to the GM participating in RA, giving readers a valuable reference to help guide future research.
