Research trends of ferroptosis and pyroptosis in depression: A bibliometric analysis

Figure 1 Flow diagram of document identification, screening, and inclusion for the ferroptosis-related and pyroptosis-related depression datasets retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The diagram shows the search strategies, record-selection procedures, eligibility criteria, reasons for exclusion, and final datasets included in the bibliometric analyses. Separate screening pathways are shown for the ferroptosis-related and pyroptosis-related datasets. For the pyroptosis-related dataset, studies addressing inflammasome activation without evidence of pyroptotic cell death or pyroptosis-related execution mechanisms were excluded.
