Abstract

Introduction: Glioma represents the most prevalent primary malignant tumor in the central nervous system, a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms driving glioma is imperative for guiding future treatment strategies. Emerging evidence has implicated a close relationship between glioma development and epigenetic regulation. However, there remains a significant lack of comprehensive summaries in this domain. This study aims to analyze epigenetic publications pertaining to gliomas from 2009 to 2024 using bibliometric methods, consolidate the extant research, and delineate future prospects for investigation in this critical area.

Methods: For the purpose of this study, publications spanning the years 2009 to 2024 were extracted from the esteemed Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Utilizing advanced visualization tools such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer, comprehensive data pertaining to various aspects including countries, authors, author co-citations, countries/regions, institutions, journals, cited literature, and keywords were systematically visualized and analyzed.

Results: A thorough analysis was conducted on a comprehensive dataset consisting of 858 publications, which unveiled a discernible trend of steady annual growth in research output within this specific field. The nations of the United States, China, and Germany emerged as the foremost contributors to this research domain. It is noteworthy that von Deimling A and the Helmholtz…
