Objectives: Nutrition is of particular importance in the prevention and treatment of diseases, including liver fibrosis. Various studies have been conducted in this field, and in this study, we intend to analyze the characteristics of these articles and gain a broad view of the research conducted by various researchers and the topic trends of these articles.

Methods: The search strategy was designed using the subject headings for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis and nutrition therapy concepts selected from the MESH database, and all indexed articles in PubMed/Medline were retrieved and analyzed. Knowledge mapping and visualization were performed using the R and VOSviewer software programs.

Results: A total of 820 articles were retrieved, most of which were published in 1969 (n=29) and 1970 (n=27). The journals “Gastroenterology “(n=18) and “The American Journal of Gastroenterology “(n=16) had published the most articles in this field, and “Arroyo V” was the most prolific individual in this field (n=11). “Mayo Clinic” and the “University of Toronto”, with 25 articles, were the most active organizations in this field. The countries USA (n=200), Italy (n= 187), China (n= 80), Spain (n=60), India (n= 55) and Denmark (n=54) have the highest scientific production, respectively. Among the subject keywords, “diet therapy”, “diet sodium-restricted”, “liver cirrhosis/complications”, and “parenteral nutrition” were used most in the articles, and the topic trend in recent years has been on "diet, Mediterranean", "proportional hazards models" and "liver/drug effects/metabolism/pathology".

Conclusions: Most of the articles were published in the 1960s and 1970s. Diets, especially the Mediterranean diet, have recently received attention in these articles. Given the importance of this topic, it is suggested to conduct more research and more international collaborations in this field.

Funding Sources: This article is one of the articles extracted from a doctoral dissertation in nutrition, which has been registered with the code 14207 at Yazd University of Medical Sciences.
