Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the current research status and explore the relationship between metabolites and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), providing insights for future research.
Methods:
In this study, we retrieved publications on metabolites and IBD from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), covering the period from 1994 to 2024. We conducted descriptive and visual analyses of the topics, journals, countries/regions, institutions, authors, and citation counts of these publications.
Results:
From January 1994 to June 2024, a total of 509 relevant publications were retrieved from the WOSCC, with the number of publications steadily increasing each year. These articles were published in 222 journals, with the top three most productive journals being inflammatory bowel diseases (36 publications), Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics (16 publications), and Digestive Diseases and Sciences (13 publications). The leading countries in publication output were China (154 publications, 30.3%), the USA (101 publications, 19.8%), and the UK (32 publications, 6.3%), with total citation counts of 3,175, 7,439, and 1,444, respectively. The most recent trending keywords in this field include "gut microbiota," "inflammation," and "pathogenesis."
Conclusion:
Recent research on the relationship between metabolites and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has grown significantly, deepening our understanding of their connection. Further exploration of this relationship could not only enhance the quality of life for IBD patients but also offer new insights into potential cures for the disease.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
