5,380 bibliographic records from the Web of Science Core Collection, published between January 1, 2001, and March 13, 2026, form the primary dataset. A parallel clinical analysis incorporates 172 targeted studies from PubMed. The data was compiled and analyzed by Xiao-Jie Zhou and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing publication trends and growth in microbiome-lifestyle research based on the 5,380-record dataset
• Mapping thematic research clusters and keyword evolution based on the described bibliometric analyses
• Identifying leading countries and institutions in the field based on the mention of China and the United States as dominant contributors
• Studying clinical research trajectories and methodological design evolution based on the PubMed analysis subset

Strengths

• The dataset includes 5,380 bibliographic records, providing a substantial base for analysis
• It covers a 25-year time range from 2001 to 2026, allowing for longitudinal trend analysis
• A parallel clinical subset of 172 studies from PubMed adds a targeted dimension to the analysis

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 25.2 KB, indicating limited scope or highly summarized content
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The description is detailed but the actual data file format is a DOCX document, not a structured data file
