What the study showed
Annual publication output on celiac disease–gut microbiota research showed an overall upward trend since 2005. The field spans journals in nutrition, microbiology, immunology, gastroenterology, and molecular biology. The abstract reports no original mechanistic findings — it maps existing literature.
How it was done
Bibliometric analysis of 265 Web of Science Core Collection records and 320 PubMed records retrieved through April 2026, processed with CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix.
Risk of bias
Bibliometric studies generate no experimental evidence and are constrained by database coverage and search strategy. The abstract is truncated, precluding full assessment of results and conclusions.
What this study does NOT prove
Does not establish causality between gut microbiota and celiac disease, nor efficacy of any intervention.
In clinical practice
No clinical recommendations can be derived from a bibliometric mapping. The study is useful only for identifying research priorities.
Limitations
Bibliometric studies generate no experimental evidence and are constrained by database coverage and search strategy. The abstract is truncated, precluding full assessment of results and conclusions.
