Artificial intelligence in glioma research: a bibliometric analysis of global trends, hotspots, and future directions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in adults and remain one of the greatest therapeutic challenges due to their infiltrative growth, molecular heterogeneity, and poor prognosis. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), increasing efforts have been made to apply AI tools across different stages of glioma research and clinical care.

Objective

This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research activity at the intersection of AI and gliomas, identifying leading contributors, emerging hotspots, and temporal trends.

Methods

We systematically identified relevant publications from the past decade (January 2016 to June 2025) through searches of Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. The retriev
