Abstract
Background: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a current research hotspot, with a surge in the output of publications over the past decade. This study dedicates to the exploration of the research status and highlights significant themes and future trends in FMT research with the aid of bibliometric analysis.
Methods: FMT publications from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved on August 12, 2022, using the SCI-Expanded of Web of Science (WoS). The Bibliometrix in R program, Microsoft Office Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were utilized for bibliometrics and visual analysis, revealing the main publications, journals, countries, agencies, authors, and keywords distribution in FMT research.
Results: There were 2,931 papers included. FMT research presented a growing trend from 2012 to 2021. The countries with the most publications and contributions in FMT area were China and the United States. The high-yield institutions were Harvard University, Udice French Research Universities, and the University of California System. The primary authors were Nieuwdorp Max, Allegretti Jessica R, and Kassam Zain. Frontiers in Microbiology and Science were the top-ranked journals in publications and total citations, respectively. The important topics primarily included FMT-related mechanisms and the usage of FMT in Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), metabolic disease, neurological disorders, and psychiatric disorders. Future research would primarily concentrate on neurological disorders, chemotherapy and immunotherapy for malignant tumors, and FMT-related consensus and guidelines.
Conclusion: With the help of bibliometric analysis, we were able to obtain the understanding of the status and trends of global FMT-related research. The field of FMT is undergoing tremendous progress, and our findings can guide clinical researchers' and practitioners' future work in the rapidly evolving field of FMT.
背景:粪便微生物群移植(Fecal microbiota transplantation, FMT)是当前的研究热点，近十年来发表的论文数量激增。本研究以文献计量学分析为工具，探讨FMT的研究现状，强调FMT研究的重要主题和未来趋势。方法:利用SCI-Expanded of Web of Science (WoS)检索2022年8月12日2012 - 2021年的FMT出版物。利用Bibliometrix in R、Microsoft Office Excel、VOSviewer和CiteSpace等软件进行文献计量和可视化分析，揭示FMT研究的主要出版物、期刊、国家、机构、作者和关键词分布。结果:共纳入论文2931篇。从2012年到2021年，FMT研究呈现增长趋势。在FMT领域发表和贡献最多的国家是中国和美国。高收益的机构是哈佛大学、尤迪斯法国研究型大学和加州大学系统。主要作者是Nieuwdorp Max, Allegretti Jessica R和Kassam Zain。《微生物学前沿》和《科学》分别在发文量和总引用量上排名第一。重要主题主要包括FMT相关机制以及FMT在艰难梭菌感染(CDI)、炎症性肠病(IBD)、肠易激综合征(IBS)、代谢性疾病、神经系统疾病和精神疾病中的应用。未来的研究将主要集中在神经系统疾病、恶性肿瘤的化疗和免疫治疗，以及fmt相关的共识和指南。结论:通过文献计量分析，我们可以了解全球fmt相关研究的现状和趋势。FMT领域正在取得巨大的进步，我们的研究结果可以指导临床研究人员和从业者在快速发展的FMT领域的未来工作。
