ObjectiveTo understand research hotspots and future development trends in the field of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) from 2014 to 2023. MethodsRelevant literature on FEVR was retrieved using the Web of Science Core Collection (SSCI and SCI-Expanded) from the Institute for Scientific Information. The bibliometric analysis software CiteSpace 6.2.R3 was used to analyze countries or regions, institutions, authors, co-cited references, and keywords. ResultsA total of 316 FEVR-related articles were included. The annual number of publications in this field showed a fluctuating upward trend from 2014 to 2023, with the highest number of publications in 2022, 51 papers (16.14%, 51/316); and the lowest in 2015, 15 papers (4.75%, 15/316). China had the highest number of publications, with 137 papers (43.35%, 137/316). Among institutions, Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranked first with 43 papers, while Professor Zhao Peiquan from Xinhua Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, had the highest number of publications among authors, with 34 papers. The country with the highest betweenness centrality was the United States, 0.91; the institution was the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, 0.16; and the author was Ding Xiaoyan, 0.12. The 316 papers were clustered into four research areas: #0 clinical characteristics, #1 ndp, #2 norrie disease, and #3 retinopathy of prematurity. Keywords such as "Chinese patients," "TSPAN12," "variants," and "spectrum" remained highly frequent up to 2023. ConclusionsThe number of publications on FEVR research from 2014 to 2023 show a growth trend, with Chinese research institutions and scholars contributing the most. Research on pathogenic genotypes and clinical phenotypes remains a crucial direction for future development.
Objective To survey the current situation of the systematic review (SR)/ meta-analysis (MA) related to interventions published in the Chinese medical journals entitled with evidence-based. Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine (2001.1 to 2011.12), the Chinese Journal of Evidence-based Medicine (2001.1 to 2011.12), the Chinese Journal of Evidence Based Pediatrics (2006.1 to 2011.12) and the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Cardiovascular Medicine (2008.1 to 2011.12) were searched for SRs/MAs related to interventions. Two reviewers extracted data independently using predesigned a data extraction form, crosschecked data, and discussed to solve discrepancy. Excel software was used to for statistical analysis. Results A total of 487 SRs/MAs were included. 379 (77.82%) SRs/MAs were published in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, 70 (14.38%) in the Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, 30 (6.17%) in Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Pediatrics, and 8 (1.63%) in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Cardiovascular Medicine. The number of SRs/MAs published generally increased during 2001 to 2011. The number of author of SRs/MAs was 5±2, the number of studies that included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SRs/MAs varied from 1 to 129 (median: 8), involving 20 diseases. 83 (17.04%) SRs/MAs focused on neoplasms, 64 (17.04%) on diseases of the circulatory system, and 54 (11.09%) on diseases of the genitourinary system. 82.75% of the included 487 SRs/MAs assessed the methodological quality of included RCTs. 44 (9.03%) SRs/MAs mentioned the methods of quality assessment, without reporting the results. The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias was the most frequently used for evaluation (314 SRs/MAs, 64.48%). Conclusion The number of SRs/MAs related to interventions published in the journals entitled with evidence-based is increasing generally and their topics are extensive. However, further studies should be improved in the aspects of selecting and applying the quality assessment criteria of randomized controlled trials.
Efficient disciplinary management in hospitals plays an important role in improving the level of medical services, promoting talent development, elevating research levels, and enhancing the overall strength of hospitals. At present, large comprehensive hospitals are facing increasingly complex challenges and problems in disciplinary construction and management. Bibliometrics, as a tool for literature analysis and evaluation, can assist hospitals in carrying out disciplinary management. This article explores the application and value of bibliometrics in hospital disciplinary management from the perspectives of disciplinary planning, optimizing resource allocation, evaluating disciplinary level, and exploring hot topics and development trends in disciplinary fields, and hopes to provide reference and ideas for peers.

The visualization software CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to analyze co-citation, co-occurrence, and emergence analysis on publishing organizations, journals, and keywords and to explore the research hotspots and frontiers.ResultsA total of 11764 related studies were retrieved. In recent years, research on anticoagulation of atrial fibrillation has become increasingly popular. Most of the published researches were from North America, and the primary institution was the University of Birmingham. Research hotspots mainly focused on warfarin, stroke prevention, new oral anticoagulants, antithrombotic and anticoagulants, and complicating diseases. The research frontiers were the new oral anticoagulants, and the antithrombotic management of atrial fibrillation with coronary heart disease.ConclusionsThe global hotspot in atrial fibrillation anticoagulant research is warfarin, stroke prevention, new oral anticoagulants, antithrombotic and antiplatelet therapy, and complicated diseases. The research focuses on the study of novel oral anticoagulants and the antithrombotic management of atrial fibrillation complicated with coronary heart disease.
This is the third paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. We count terms and phrases having the words"evidence-based" in the title using bibliometrics. We then analyze the frequency of emergence, publication period, languages, and journal of the glossaries published. Finally, we focus on the link between the title and the glossary, and explore the development of trends in EBM.

Objective To learn the hotspots of study in ischemic optic neuropathy (ION). Methods Literature on ION published in January 2000 to July 2012 was identified in Pubmed database. MeSH terms that frequently appeared were identified and co-word analysis was carried out by cluster analysis. Then a network was drawn using social network analysis. Results A total of 1045 papers were included. The United States, England, Germany, France and Netherlands together accounted for 71.53% (748) of the articles. There were 28 high-frequency MeSH terms and hot topics clustered into four fields. The appearance frequency of MeSH showed that most research focused on: (1)postoperative or arteritic ION; (2)epidemiology, pathology and diagnosis of ION; (3)pathophysiology and therapy of ION; (4) chemically induced ION.

Objective To analyze the advancement and trends of English literature on elderly integrated care, and provide a reference for related research and practice in China. Methods Web of Science database was searched for English literature on elderly integrated care published between 1977 and 2000, and then CiteSpace software was applied to analyze and graphically present the articles to understand the chronological development, publishing institutions, research hotspots, key articles and so on. Results A total of 1177 English research papers on elderly integrated care were included. The yearly quantity of articles increased significantly since 2016. More than 100 articles had origin in the Unite State of America, the Netherland, the United Kingdom, and Canada, respectively; the organizations of those researches were mainly single programs, and the research fields were relatively scattered. The high-frequency keywords of these articles were health care, quality of life, primary care, home care, community, chronic disease, long term care, mental health, etc, and the burst terms were long term care, case management, quality of life, community, rehabilitation, telehealth, all inclusive care, etc. According to the centrality of co-citation clustering, the top one article was World Report on Ageing and Health published by the World Health Organization. Conclusions Elderly integrated care has been paid increasing international attention. In recent years, integrated care, transitional care, case management and telecare have become research hotspots. With the key policies of people-centred and integrated health services, primary care, and community-level interventions, typical countries have developed basic models of elderly integrated care. The above theories and experiences can provide references for the practice of elderly integrated care in China.
