Abstract:Objective To analyze the research status, hotspot and development trend of softening hardness and dispersing mass of traditional Chinese medicine by using visualization software CiteSpace. Methods The relevant literature on softening hardness and dispersing mass from the inception of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database to March 2022 was searched by computer. CiteSpace software was used for visual analysis of authors, research institutions and keywords. Results A visual analysis was conducted on 1 689 articles from 1998 to 2022. The core authors were represented by Zhang Junping, Ye Xiaohan and Gao Tianshu. Major research institutions included Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc. High frequency keywords involved five categories of research types and methods, disease treatment, commonly used drugs, combined therapy and mechanism research. Research on diseases had shifted from endometriosis, hysteromyoma, breast hyperplasia to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, pulmonary nodules, etc. The transformation of empirical results had been emphasized, and research methods had expanded data mining, cluster analysis, and other methods on the basis of clinical research and clinical experience. Conclusion Data mining, clustering analysis, and other research and analysis methods are the current research focus. The clinical research of softening hardness and dispersing mass in the treatment of micro-accumulation diseases and achievement transformation of empirical prescriptions are the research trend in the future.
