Exploring research trends and hotspots of infantile hemangioma with slope graphs: Moving beyond traditional spot trend views.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a noncancerous tumor commonly observed in pediatric patients, characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells. Despite numerous studies on IH, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis and synthesis of research trends. This study aims to: examine the applicability of slope graphs in bibliometrics; identify the most significantly dominant entities; and determine if the h-indexes are consistent across all IH-related articles and the top 100 cited IH (T100IH) articles.

Methods

A comprehensive collection of IH-related publications from 2014 to 2023 was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection, resulting in a total of 2000 articles. The analysis was conducted in 2 parts: the overall dataset of 2000 publications and a subset
