Objectives: Despite the many reported studies on macrophages in ulcerative colitis (UC), the overall research trends in this field are unclear. This study evaluates the research trends and hotspots regarding macrophages in UC using bibliometric analysis. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Web of Science database to identify publications related to macrophages in UC from 2012 to 2021. R package 'bibliometrix', VOSviewers, CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel were utilised for the bibliometric analysis. Results: 1074 articles published between 2012 and 2021 were analysed. The number of publications on macrophages in UC showed a consistently increasing trend, with USA and China as the leading contributors to this field. Notably, Georgia State University and Nanjing University contributed significantly to this field. Among the authors, Wang Y had the highest productivity, while Wu X received the most citations. The journal Gut was identified as the most authoritative journal in this field. Co-citation analysis revealed that the exploration of the mechanisms of macrophages in UC through in vivo and in vitro experiments was the primary focus of research. Moreover, the emerging research hotspots included keywords such as 'macrophage polarization', 'gut microbiota' and 'NLRP3 inflammasome'. Conclusions: Research on macrophages in UC holds significant value and practical implications. Additionally, China demonstrated prolific output in this field, while the USA had the most influential contributions. Currently, research hotspots are centred around the modulation of gut microbiota to regulate macrophage polarization and macrophage pyroptosis as potential strategies for mitigating UC.
