Recently, the role of gut microbiota in psoriasis has attracted increasing attention. A systematic bibliometric analysis of relevant literature is necessary to understand better the current state and development trends in this field.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for literature indexed from 2004 to October 15, 2024. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using Bibliometrix, CiteSpace (version 6.3.R1), R 4.2.2 with the Bibliometrix package, Scimago Graphica 1.0.45, and VOSviewer (version 1.6.20.0) to visualize publication types, years, authors, countries, institutions, journal sources, references, and keywords.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The development of psoriasis and gut microbiota research can be divided into two phases: slow growth (2004\u20132014) and rapid development (2014\u20132024). Lidia Rudnicka is the most active and influential author. China produced the highest number of publications, followed by the United States, which had the highest number of citations per article. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences published the most articles. In contrast, articles in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, British Journal of Dermatology, and Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology were cited over 1,000 times. Keyword and co-citation analyses identified evolving research hotspots. Early studies focused on the association between gut microbiota and comorbid inflammatory diseases. Recent research has delved into specific mechanisms, such as disruption of gut barrier function, short-chain fatty acid metabolism alterations, impaired regulatory T-cell function, and excessive activation of Th17 cells. These mechanisms highlight how gut dysbiosis exacerbates psoriasis patients\u2019 systemic inflammation and skin lesions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The field of psoriasis and gut microbiota research is developing rapidly despite uneven research distribution. This bibliometric evaluation assesses the current state of research and provides new perspectives for understanding the complex interactions between microbes and the host. Future efforts should strengthen international collaboration to deeply explore the mechanisms of gut microbiota\u2019s role in psoriasis, especially its potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2025.1531355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]],"date-time":"2025-04-25T05:22:33Z","timestamp":1745558553000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Mapping the global research landscape on psoriasis and the gut microbiota: visualization and bibliometric analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yue-Min","family":"Zou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Man-Ning","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangnan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan-Ping","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2049-2618-1-31","article-title":"Community differentiation of the cutaneous microbiota in psoriasis","volume":"1","author":"Alekseyenko","year":"2013","journal-title":"Microbiome"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1945","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.4006","article-title":"Pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of psoriasis: A review","volume":"323","author":"Armstrong","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2015.08.058","article-title":"Th17 cell induction by adhesion of microbes to intestinal epithelial cells","volume":"163","author":"Atarashi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1186\/s40168-018-0533-1","article-title":"Alteration of the cutaneous microbiome in psoriasis and potential role in Th17 polarization","volume":"6","author":"Chang","year":"2018","journal-title":"Microbiome"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"589726","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2020.589726","article-title":"Skin and gut\u00a0microbiome in psoriasis: Gaining insight into the pathophysiology of it and finding\u00a0novel therapeutic strategies","volume":"11","author":"Chen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Microbiol"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15081952","article-title":"Dose\u2013response efficacy and mechanisms of orally administered bifidobacterium breve CCFM683 on IMQ-induced psoriasis in mice","volume":"15","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nutrients"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.intimp.2024.112658","article-title":"Gut microbiota and skin pathologies: Mechanism of the gut-skin axis in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis","volume":"141","author":"Chen","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int.
