Global trends in research of fibroblasts associated with rheumatoid diseases in the 21st century: A bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rheumatoid Diseases (RDs) are a group of systemic auto-immune diseases that are characterized by chronic synovitis, and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play an important role in the occurrence and progression of synovitis. Our study is the first to adopt bibliometric analysis to identify the global scientific production and visualize its current distribution in the 21st century, providing insights for future research through the analysis of themes and keywords.

Methods

We obtained scientific publications from the core collection of the Web of Science (WoS) database, and the bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted by Biblioshiny software based on R-bibliometrix.

Results

From 2000 to 2022, a total of 3,391 publications were reviewed. China
