Research Trends on TNF-Alpha Polymorphisms and Psoriasis: A Bibliometric Analysis

Purpose: The immune system is the source of the inflammatory, persistent skin condition known as psoriasis. Despite recent major advancements in the pathology of psoriasis, no bibliometric investigation associating TNF-Alpha polymorphisms to psoriasis has been conducted. The objective of this study was to better understand the development trend and boundaries of the area by using bibliometrics to assess the focal point and research overview of TNF-Alpha Polymorphisms and Psoriasis. Methods: The Web of Science database was searched on March 26, 2024, with the terms “resilienc*” in the title and “tumo$r necrosis factor* or TNF or tumo$r necrosis factor*” and “polymorphism* or variant* or variation* or SNP*” and “psoriasis OR psoriatic*” in the topic. There were 400 documents extracted in all. Visualizations created by web-r.org were made using web-based R analytics developed with bibliometric analysis. Results: Since 2012, research on the relationship between psoriasis and TNF-Alpha polymorphisms has increased significantly. The research that received the most attention was published in Dermatology and the British Journal, with Nair RP receiving the most citations. China, the United States, and Italy were the most productive nations. "Association," "Rheumatoid Arthritis," and "Susceptibility" appeared most frequently in the KeyWordPlus analysis. Conclusion: Future researchers may find the results of this study useful in their work, and it may present new avenues for investigating TNF-alpha polymorphisms and psoriasis.
