Objective:

To provide an overview of the research hotspots and directions of type 3 macular neovascularization (MNV3) in age-related macular degeneration specifically through bibliometric analysis.

Key Findings:
  • The United States leads in MNV3 research output from 2001 to 2026.
  • Kim JW is the most prolific author; Yannuzzi LA is the most cited.
  • High-frequency keywords include 'ranibizumab', 'photodynamic therapy', and 'optical coherence tomography'.
  • Emerging research hotspots involve 'artificial intelligence', 'biomarker', and 'microglia'.
  • Research topics are categorized into pathogenesis, imaging, therapy, and clinical prognosis.
Interpretation:

The analysis highlights significant advancements and collaborative efforts in MNV3 research, indicating a growing interest and evolving understanding of the condition, which may guide future research directions.

Limitations:
  • The study is limited to publications in English, which may introduce language bias.
  • Only two databases were used for literature retrieval.
Conclusion:

This bibliometric analysis elucidates research hotspots and directions in MNV3, providing a foundation for future investigations in this evolving field.
