Research trends on neutrophil extracellular traps in ischemic stroke: a scientific metrology study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading global cause of mortality and chronic disability. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), recently identified as neutrophil-derived structures that trap and neutralize pathogens, have increasingly drawn attention for their involvement in IS pathogenesis. Despite a surge in related research, no bibliometric analyses have yet examined the knowledge framework and trends within this emerging field. Here, we conducted a systematic bibliometric analysis to map the research landscape and identify current and potential hotspots regarding NETs in IS.

Methods

Relevant literature published between 2014 and 2024 was systematically retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Multiple analytical tools, including Cite
