Bibliometric analysis of the 250 most cited articles about Cisplatin Nephrotoxicity

Abstract

Introduction: Cisplatin is an antineoplastic drug commonly used to treat solid tumors. Nephrotoxicity is one of the most important side effects. Our study aimed to present an objective perspective on this topic by performing a bibliometric analysis of literature articles on cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Materials and Methods: Due to analysis of the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, the 250 original articles written in English about cisplatin nephrotoxicity with most citations were identified and investigated. Results: From 10,242 articles related to cisplatin nephrotoxicity, 250 original articles with the highest citation numbers were identified after exclusion criteria. These articles were published in 90 different journals. The country with the most publications and publications with the most citations about this topic was the United States of America (USA). The article with the most citations was written by Mishra et al. The most productive journal was Kidney International, while the most effective was the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Conclusion: This study is the first bibliometric analysis in the literature related to cisplatin nephrotoxicity. To date, studies have focused on the mechanisms and injuries caused by cisplatin in kidney dysfunction. The relatively low number of studies about preventing this injury is notable. Current studies that will be performed on this topic may attract researchers' interest.
