Abstract：Objective To make a bibliometric analysis of the domestic literatures on the intervention of acupoint catgut embedding in lipid metabolism related diseases in the past 30 years by using knowledge atlas, and to explore the research hotspot and development trend. Methods Literatures on acupuncture point embedding intervention for lipodystrophy were searched from CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases from January 1992 to September 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to visually analyze the number of publications, authors, institutions, and keywords of relevant literature. Results A total of 821 papers were included, and the number of papers published in this field showed an overall upward trend in the past 30 years. Several stable core research teams represented by Yang Caide’s team have been formed; Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine published the most papers, and the research institutions showed regional clustering and weak cooperation. Key words cluster analysis had obtained 11 cluster modules such as obesity, acupoint catgut embedding, postpartum obesity, blood lipid, body weight, etc. The research focus was mainly on the clinical application of acupoint embedding to intervene in lipid metabolism, methodology mining, biological research. Among the 17 emergent keywords, curative effect and abdominal obesity had become the research hotspots in recent years. Conclusion In recent years, the heat of this field has increased, the research scope has gradually deepened, and the future development trend is good. In the later stage, cooperation and communication between teams should be increased to discuss the best treatment plan and materials used, so as to provide references for clinical practice.
