Research trends of the aetiology of systemic lupus erythematosus in the past 10 years: a bibliometric analysis (2014-2023)

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of SLE aetiology research, highlighting evolving research trends, influential studies, and collaborative networks. The findings indicate a shift in research focus from specific disease pathogenesis and expression toward genetic mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and clinical applications. Future research on SLE aetiology is likely to prioritise investigations into DNA, genes, and validating existing findings.
