ABSTRACT

Objectives

Systematically summarize the trend of research and the orientation of macular edema in recent decades by analyzing the characteristics of the 100 top-ranked articles.

Methods

The 100 most cited papers on macular edema published from January 1, 1950, to August 27, 2020, were reviewed by Web of Science (including the Scientific Citation Index). The each article is analyzed by extracting information such as the publication date, journal, author, country of origin, institution, number of citations, research topics, and research design types.

Results

Among the 100 articles, the highest cited number was 1907, and the lowest cited number was 166. These articles were published in 18 journals from 1983 to 2016, as well as in 10 countries. The most published newspapers were Ophthalmology (n = 51). The countries were the USA (n = 66). Out of 100 articles, 12 institutions and 10 authors contributed over 3 articles. The emphasis of these studies was placed on clinical studies. The most prevalent design type was the randomized controlled trial (n = 42). The etiology on macular edema can be divided into diabetic (n = 68), retinal vein occlusion (n = 21), and other (n = 11), of which the most common research topic is the non-surgical treatment of macular edema (n = 65).

Conclusion

This study analyzed the research trends and progress of macular edema in the past 70 years, emphasizing the treatment of diabetic macular edema and the contribution of USA in the study of macular edema.

1950年至2020年黄斑水肿100篇高被引文章

摘要

目标

通过对100篇排名靠前的文章的特点进行分析，系统总结了近几十年黄斑水肿的研究趋势和方向。

方法

1950 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 8 月 27 日发表的 100 篇黄斑水肿被引用次数最多的论文由 Web of Science（包括科学引文索引）进行了审查。通过提取出版日期、期刊、作者、来源国、机构、引用次数、研究主题和研究设计类型等信息来分析每篇文章。

结果

在这100篇文章中，最高被引次数为1907篇，最低被引次数为166篇。这些文章从1983年到2016年在18个期刊以及10个国家发表。发表最多的报纸是眼科（n = 51）。这些国家是美国（n = 66）。在 100 篇文章中，12 家机构和 10 位作者贡献了 3 篇以上的文章。这些研究的重点放在临床研究上。最普遍的设计类型是随机对照试验（n = 42）。黄斑水肿的病因可分为糖尿病（n=68）、视网膜静脉阻塞（n=21）和其他（n=11），其中最常见的研究课题是黄斑水肿的非手术治疗。 n = 65)。

结论

本研究分析了近70年来黄斑水肿的研究趋势和进展，强调了糖尿病黄斑水肿的治疗以及美国在黄斑水肿研究中的贡献。
