Insights
This bibliometric analysis identifies the 100 most cited gastric disease articles, highlighting key research trends and influential publications in the field. It offers a guide for physicians to assess impactful scientific contributions to gastric disease prevention and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometric analysis of gastrointestinal research.
- Scientific impact assessment in medicine.
Background:
- Citation counts are standard for measuring scientific impact.
- A comprehensive bibliometric summary of gastric disease research is lacking.
- Understanding influential gastric disease research is crucial for clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the most cited articles in gastric disease research.
- To identify trends and influential publications in the field.
- To provide physicians with a guide to assessing key gastric disease research.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of the top 100 most cited gastric disease articles from Web of Science.
- Evaluation of articles based on citations, publication year, country, and study type.
- Categorization of articles into key research areas.
Main Results:
- The 100 articles, published 1965-2019, averaged 1,149 citations.
- Gastric cancer (53) and Helicobacter pylori (17) dominated the top-cited research.
- The USA (41), UK (17), and Japan (11) were leading countries of origin.
Conclusions:
- This study offers a historical overview of scientific progress in gastric disease.
- Key findings impacting gastric disease prevention and treatment have been identified.
- The research highlights the most influential articles in the field for clinical guidance.
Objectives:
The bibliometric analysis uses the citation count of an article to measure its impact in the scientific community, yet there is still no comprehensive summary of gastric disease researches via bibliometric analysis. We aimed to evaluate the situations and trends of the most cited articles in gastric disease via bibliometric analysis and to provide physicians a practical guide in assessing the most influential articles written on this subject.
Methods:
The 100 top-cited articles in gastric disease were compiled using Web of Science. The articles selected were evaluated for their number of citations, year of publication, country of origin, type of study, and others.
Results:
The database had 484,281 articles published between 1965 and 2019. The most cited article received 4,017 citations and the least received 604, with a mean of 1,149 citations. We classified the articles into seven categories: gastric cancer (n = 53), Helicobacter pylori (n = 17), ulcer (n = 7), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (n = 6), gastritis (n = 5), gastric bypass surgery (n = 2), and others (n = 10). Altogether, 69 of the articles were from the USA (n = 41), the UK (n = 17), and Japan (n = 11). Among all the institutions, Royal Perth Hospital led the list with 5 articles. One-quarter of authors owned three or more of these top-cited articles. The 100 papers were published in 33 journals, and most of them were clinical researches (n = 47).
Conclusions:
Our study provides a historical perspective for the scientific progress of gastric disease, and the articles of significant findings that contributed great impact on the prevention and treatment of gastric disease had been identified.

In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
