| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To analyze the literature related to the objectification of tongue diagnosis in recent ten years by using the visual analysis software CiteSpace 5.5.2, so as to understand the current development status, research hot-spots and trends of the objectification of tongue diagnosis in China, and provide references for future research.[Methods] Based on the topic of "tongue diagnosis" and "objectification", the literature related to the objectification of tongue diagnosis in the database of China knowledge network from 2010 to 2019 were searched. Using the software CiteSpace5.5.2 to conduct visual analysis on the authors, research institutions and key words of relevant literature, and draw a visual map to show its development trend, hot-spots and frontiers in a more intuitive way.[Results] A total of 157 references were included in this study. Based on the analysis of the number of articles published annually, although the research on objectification of tongue diagnosis has decreased in recent years, the overall development trend is relatively stable. Less inter-agency cross-regional exchange and cooperation. The main research institutions are concentrated in universities, such as Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tianjin University. The research hot-spots and trend have been raised from pure theoretical research to technical level and clinical application.[Conclusion] The visual map analysis obtained by running CiteSpace, tongue image collection and later image processing are the current research hot-spots, and the cooperation and communication among research institutions should be strengthened, so as to realize the clinical application in the future, and promote the development of the objective research of tongue diagnosis. |
