Ankylosing Spondylitis Gut Microbiome Research Bibliometric Analysis

165 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection and 115 articles from PubMed, published up to January 1, 2026, were analyzed by Xingxiao Yin. The bibliometric analysis identifies research trends and hotspots in the relationship between the gut microbiota and ankylosing spondylitis.

Use Cases

• Identify key research trends based on annual publication and citation counts.
• Analyze author and institutional productivity based on listed contributors.
• Explore research hotspots like inflammation, Mendelian randomization, HLA-B27, probiotics, and short-chain fatty acids.
• Validate bibliometric findings by comparing results from two major databases.

Strengths

• 165 articles from WoSCC and 115 from PubMed provide a dual-source validation.
• Analysis includes specific metrics like annual publication volume, citation counts, and top author/country rankings.
• Results highlight concrete research hotspots such as inflammation and probiotics.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 11.3 KB document; the underlying bibliographic data is not provided as a structured table.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the analysis text.
• Row count for the source bibliographic data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
