METHODS: English FTC publications were systematically gathered from the Web of Science. Bibliometric analysis, using R, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Excel, synthesized data and explored global research trends and topics.
RESULTS: From 2000 to 2023, 9086 authors from 1953 institutions across 75 countries contributed to 1776 papers in 491 academic journals on FTC. The last two decades have witnessed a steady increase in publications related to FTC, with the United States leading in terms of publication volume. The United States dominated both in publications and citations, with the National Cancer Institute and Sheue-Yann Cheng as leading contributors. The journal \'Thyroid\' featured the most publications, while the \'Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism\' ranked highest in citation frequency. Research focused on gene expression analysis and preoperative diagnostics, with recent trends shifting toward prognosis management and machine learning due to advances in medical technology and increased health awareness.
CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive bibliometric analysis has mapped the landscape of FTC research, highlighting key contributors, institutions, and thematic trends. Current discourse predominantly revolves around genetic analysis, prognostic determinants, and preoperative diagnostics in FTC. This foundational work guides future FTC research, providing insights into its evolution.
方法:从WebofScience系统收集了FTC的英文出版物。文献计量分析,使用R,VOSviewer,CiteSpace,Excel,综合数据,探索全球研究趋势和主题。
结果:从2000年到2023年,来自75个国家/地区的1953年机构的9086位作者在FTC的491种学术期刊上发表了1776篇论文。在过去的二十年中,与FTC有关的出版物稳步增长,美国在出版量方面处于领先地位。美国在出版物和引文中都占主导地位,与国家癌症研究所和Shue-YanCheng作为主要贡献者。《甲状腺》杂志刊登了最多的出版物,而“临床内分泌和代谢杂志”的引用频率最高。研究集中在基因表达分析和术前诊断,随着医疗技术的进步和健康意识的提高,最近的趋势转向预后管理和机器学习。
结论:这种全面的文献计量分析绘制了FTC研究的前景,突出关键贡献者,机构,和主题趋势。当前的讨论主要围绕遗传分析,预后决定因素,以及FTC的术前诊断。这项基础性工作指导了未来的FTC研究,提供对其演变的见解。
