A Bibliometric Analysis Using Vosviewer of Publications on the Trpm2 Channel

Abstract

The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca2+ permeable cation channel that is a cellular redox sensor. It has been determined that the TRPM2 channel plays an important role in various neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So far, however, theme trends and knowledge structures for TRPM 2 have yet to be studied bibliometrically. This research mainly aims to compare the scientific production of TRPM2 in the research area between countries and to evaluate the publication trend between 1997 and 2022. All publications are from the Web of Scie nce Core Collection database from 1997 to 2022. Journals, countries, regions, institutions, authors, and research points were included. A total of 824 publications related to TRPM2 were reviewed in this report. The Journal of Biological Chemistry ranked top for publishing 31 articles. The United States had the highest number of publications (203). Nazıroğlu M. from Süleyman Demirel University was the most prolific author with 91 publications among the authors who have TRPM2-related publications worldwide during the indicated period. Our study also combined bibliometric work with a systematic review of TRPM2, highlighting the four research limits of TRPM2. This is the first study to show trends and future developments in TRPM2 publications and to provide a clear and intuitive profile for contributions in this field. © 2024, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
