Author collaboration networks indicated limited integration among research groups. Keyword analysis identified key research clusters such as diabetes, inflammation, bile acid metabolism, and colorectal cancer. Chinese studies placed greater emphasis on disease applications, whereas English-language articles tended to focus on mechanistic insights. Emerging research hotspots include depression, fecal microbiota transplantation, bile acids, and ulcerative colitis. Co-citation analysis highlighted two foundational themes: microbial metabolites and metabolic-immune crosstalk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This bibliometric study systematically outlines the research landscape of berberine-gut microbiota interactions, highlighting emerging frontiers such as neuro-microbial crosstalk, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) -based combination therapies, and metabolic-immune mechanisms.
