Abstract:Objective To analyze the research status, hotspots, and trends of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in the past 40 years. Methods Articles related to the treatment of hepatic fibrosis with traditional Chinese medicine collected from January 1980 to December 2021 were searched by China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases, and CiteSpace 5.8.R3 analysis software was used to perform visual analysis on the trend of the number of published articles, authors, research institutions, and keywords of the retrieved articles. Results A total of 4469 articles from core journals were included, it was in the initial stage before 1997, the number of articles published began to grow rapidly from 1998 to 2004, fell slightly from 2005 to 2007, remained at a high level from 2008 to 2012, fell slightly from 2013 to 2015, and rose briefly from 2016 to 2017.

The key words with the highest burst intensity were experimental research. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis has realized the cross-regional, interagency cooperation, the research focus in the future will focus on traditional Chinese medicine monomer and oxidative stress, anti-oxidation, metabolomics, and other mechanisms, in order to better promote the development of liver fibrosis area.
