Bibliometric analysis of traditional Chinese medicine for viral infections through immune modulation (2015-2025).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The immunomodulatory properties of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have attracted significant attention as a strategy for addressing viral infections. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is still lacking. This study aims to systematically identify research trends, knowledge hotspots, and emerging themes in TCM applications for viral infections through immune modulation from 2015 to 2025.

Methods

We collected publications from the Web of Science database from 2015 to 2025 and performed a comprehensive analysis using R, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. In addition, clinical trial records published during this period were obtained from the PubMed database to assess clinical advancements in this field.

Results

A total of 3,370 publications were analyzed
