Abstract
Objective
The high incidence of keratoconus has caused its management, etiology, and pathogenesis to be controversial topics in the ophthalmology field. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the different publications and authors through citation networks, as well as to identify the research areas and determine the most cited article.
Methods
The search for publications was carried out through the Web of Science database, using the term “Keratoconus” between 1900 and December 2022. The Citation Network Explorer and CiteSpace software were used for the publication analysis.
Results
9,655 publications were found, with 124,379 citations generated on the network. The year with the highest number of publications was 2021. The most cited publication was “Keratoconus” by Rabinowitz, published in 1998. Cluster function gave five groups of research areas about keratoconus: corneal signs and parameters, cross-linking efficiency and effects, clinical factors, keratoplasty, and treatment.
Conclusions
The citation network offers an objective and comprehensive analysis of the papers on keratoconus.
目的:圆锥角膜的高发病率使其治疗、病因及发病机制一直是眼科界争论的话题。本研究旨在通过引文网络分析不同出版物和作者之间的关系,并确定研究领域,确定被引最多的文章。方法:通过Web of Science数据库检索出版物,检索词为“角膜圆锥”,检索时间为1900年至2022年12月。使用引文网络浏览器和CiteSpace软件进行发表分析。结果:共发现出版物9655篇,共产生引用124379次。发表论文数量最多的年份是2021年。被引用最多的出版物是Rabinowitz于1998年出版的《圆锥角膜》(Keratoconus)。聚类函数给出了圆锥角膜的5组研究领域:角膜体征和参数、交联效率和效果、临床因素、角膜移植和治疗。结论:该引文网络对圆锥角膜相关文献进行了客观、全面的分析。
