The Relationship Between Diabetes and Myricetin: Bibliometric Study

Objective: Myricetin is an active flavonoid compound known for its beneficial effects in diabetes management. The objective of this study is to characterize the research landscape on myricetin and diabetes by identifying its principal features, emerging trends, and thematic focuses thereby clarifying the therapeutic role of myricetin within the broader diabetes research field. Through bibliometric analysis, this study aims to provide comprehensive data specified to diabetes and myricetin. Material and Methods: R package ''Bibliometrix'' software was used to perform bibliometric analysis. The analysis included descriptive statistics, scientific mapping, keyword co-occurrence, and network analysis to identify influential elements such as highly cited articles, leading authors and journals, productive countries, and collaborative patterns. Results: The analysis showed limited growth until 2009, followed by rapid expansion. Most documents were original research articles (82.8%), highlighting active data generation. Keyword co-occurrence revealed oxidative stress, flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidant, and insulin resistance as dominant themes. Twelve clusters were identified, with oxidative stress/myricetin/antioxidant and flavonoids/insulin resistance/phenolic compounds most prominent. Knekt et al. was most globally cited, Ong et al. most locally cited. China, India, Brazil, the United States, and Korea led output, while Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Molecules, and Plants-Basel were most productive. Conclusion: The findings reveal a expanding body of research on myricetin in the context of diabetes, with increasing global interest, strong collaborative networks, and a clear thematic emphasis on oxidative stress and flavonoid-related mechanisms. This bibliometric overview provides a structured map of the field and may guide future studies towards unexplored research gaps.
