Background: Since being recognized as an important drug-induced clinical entity during the 1960s, tardive dyskinesia (TD) has generated an extensive body of research seeking to understand its clinical characteristics, epidemiology, pathophysiology and management. Modern scientometric approaches allow interactive visualization of large bodies of literature to identify trends and hotspots within knowledge domains. This study thus aimed to provide a comprehensive scientometric review of the TD literature.

Methods: Web of Science was searched for articles, reviews, editorials and letters with the term “tardive dyskinesia” in the title, abstract, or keywords through 12/31/2021. A total of 5,228 publications and 182,052 citations were included. Annual research output, prominent research areas, authors, affiliations and countries were summarized. VOSViewer and CiteSpace were used for bibliometric mapping and co-citation analysis. Structural and temporal metrics were used to identify key publications in the network.

Results: TD-related publications peaked in the 1990s, gradually declined after 2004, and showed a further small increase after 2015. The most prolific authors were Kane JM, Lieberman JA, and Jeste DV overall (1968–2021), and Zhang XY, Correll CU and Remington G in the last decade (2012–2021). The most prolific journal was the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry overall, and the Journal of Psychopharmacology in the last decade. Knowledge clusters in the 1960–1970s dealt with clinical and pharmacological characterization of TD. In the 1980s, epidemiology, clinical TD assessment, cognitive dysfunction and animal models predominated. During the 1990s, research diverged into pathophysiological studies, especially oxidative stress, and clinical trials on atypical antipsychotics, with a focus on clozapine and bipolar disorder. In the 1990–2000s, pharmacogenetics emerged. More recent clusters include serotonergic receptors, dopamine-supersensitivity psychosis, primary motor abnormalities of schizophrenia, epidemiology/meta-analyses, and advances in TD treatment, particularly vesicular monoamine transporter-2 inhibitors since 2017.

Conclusion: This scientometric review visualized the evolution of scientific knowledge on TD over more than five decades. These findings will be useful for researchers to find relevant literature when writing scientific articles, choosing appropriate journals, finding collaborators or mentors for research, and to understand the historical developments and emerging trends in TD research.

Background

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a drug-induced movement disorder that has been, for many decades, an unrelenting concern for psychiatrists and a burden to patients, owing to its potentially irreversible nature (1). Definition of this syndrome has evolved over the years, and it is defined in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as “involuntary athetoid or choreiform movements, generally involving the tongue, lower face and jaw, and extremities, associated with long-term use of dopamine receptor blocking agents” (2). Perioral movements associated with conventional antipsychotics were reported as far back as in the 1950s (3), before the term TD was coined by Faurbye and colleagues in 1964 (4). Since then, scientific interest and investigation into TD have progressed remarkably, broadening and deepening the understanding of its clinical characterization, epidemiology, pathophysiology and management (5). Despite the development of second-generation, so-called “atypical” antipsychotics, which have less parkinsonian adverse effects than first-generation, so-called “typical antipsychotics” (6), TD has not disappeared, as patient and treatment risk factors continue (7) and as all postsynaptic dopamine antagonists/partial agonists have been associated with at least some TD risk (8, 9).

Since present thinking and future directions in any scientific domain are founded upon insights gained through its history, it is of educational, epistemological and scientific value to the practicing clinical psychiatrists and researchers to have a broad reflective outlook on the historical developments and trends within the published literature on TD. Bibliometrics, originally defined by Pritchard (10) as “the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other communication media,” provides a useful framework for the study of patterns and trends within a large body of literature. Advancement of statistical methods and computing has produced more sophisticated bibliometric tools that utilize computer algorithms to detect and map trends and hotspots in knowledge domains (11). The application of bibliometrics and systematic mapping to study science research has been termed ‘scientometrics’ (12). Although narrative reviews have previously attempted to describe the history of TD research (1, 5), their scope and objectivity have been limited. To the best of our knowledge, a review of the TD literature informed by bibliometric indices has not been attempted so far. However, this approach is valuable, as it can provide a more comprehensive and objective analysis of how scientific knowledge on TD has progressed over the years, and it also has the potential to reveal emerging trends. This study thus reviewed the historical developments, hotspots and trends in TD literature, guided by bibliometrics. We hypothesized that certain knowledge areas and scientific themes would emerge and not be constant over time.

Methods

Data retrieval

The Web of Science (WoS) was used to access bibliographic data indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). SCIE indexes over 9,200 journals across 178 scientific disciplines, with more than 53 million records and 1.18 billion cited references dating back to 1900 (13). The availability of citation data makes the WoS data conducive for document co-citation analysis; WoS is also the primary data source for CiteSpace. WoS SCIE database was searched for all documents with “tardive dyskinesia” as a topic from 1900 to 31st of December, 2021; this identified all documents where the term “tardive dyskinesia” was mentioned in the title, abstract or keywords. Only articles, reviews, editorial material and letters were included; other document types such as meeting abstracts, proceedings papers and book reviews, were excluded. Bibliographic data were exported as ‘full records with cited references’. The literature search methods used in this study were similar to those used in many previous scientometric studies (1417).

Scientometric analysis and visualization

Scientometric analyses were performed using three analytical tools – (1) the in-built Analysis tool on WoS; (2) VOSviewer (version 1.6.16); and (3) CiteSpace (version 6.1.R4).

WoS analysis

Summary information about the most prolific authors, countries, affiliations, journals and annual publication trends were obtained from WoS Analysis tool. The findings from the entire study period and the last decade (2012–2021) were tabulated side-by-side to explore recent trends. For author names, alternative names (e.g., Kane J and Kane JM) were merged. For institutions, WoS has conducted a unification process over the past few years, where institution’s variants and parent/child relationships are mapped and linked to a preferred name.

VOSviewer

VOSviewer is a software used for creating network maps based on bibliographic data (18). Keyword co-occurrence networks and country-collaboration networks based on co-authorship were visualized using VOSviewer. In VOSviewer, a cluster is a set of items (e.g., countries, keywords) that are closely related on a map and are visualized with the same color. In VOSviewer maps, items with greater importance (e.g., higher frequency of co-occurrence for keywords) are shown with larger labels and larger circles. A link is a connection between two items, e.g., co-authorship links between countries and co-occurrence links between keywords. Each link is assigned a numerical value called link strength, which is represented by the thickness of the line connecting two items.

CiteSpace

CiteSpace has been developed for visualizing transient patterns and emerging trends in a knowledge domain using co-citation analysis (11). Co-citation analysis draws from earlier methods proposed by Small (19): Co-citation is the frequency of two documents being cited together; the more co-cited two documents are, the more likely they are semantically related. CiteSpace employs computer algorithms to map the co-citation network and to automatically label clusters using keywords used in citing articles by employing a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) algorithm. CiteSpace provides metrics of structural and temporal properties of nodes and the network. Structural metrics include centrality, an indicator of the extent to which a node lies in the middle of a path connecting different nodes, based on concepts of Freeman (20). Within structural metrics, high-centrality nodes represent pivotal points within the literature (11). Temporal metrics include citation burstness, which is detected using algorithms proposed by Kleinberg (21), and indicate rapid surges of interest within the scientific community toward a particular node at a particular period of time. Sigma is an indicator of how influential a node is based on both structural and temporal metrics; sigma is computed as (centrality+1)burstness. In presenting citation bursts, similar to the approach taken by Sabe et al. (2022), irrelevant citations, such as those referring to classification of mental disorders (e.g., DSM), were excluded (22). The quality of network clustering configurations is indicated by the silhouette value, and the clarity of network decomposition by the modularity Q. The Q metric ranges from 0 to +1 and values greater than 0.3 are considered significant. Silhouette value ranges from −1 to +1, and when coefficients exceed 0.3, 0.5, or 0.7, the network is considered homogenous, reasonable, or highly credible, respectively.

Results

Publication and citation trends over the years (1968–2021)

A total of 5,228 publications on the topic of TD were identified from WoS between 1900 and 12/31/2021. There had been a gradual increase in publications from the early 1970s to 1986, followed by a small trough during 1987–1990 (Figure 1). The greatest surge of publications was observed during the 1990s, which peaked in 1997 (179 publications) and continued into the early 2000s. From 2004 to 2014 there had been a gradual decline in the publication output; however, since 2015 there has been another brief increase in publications.

Figure 1. Trends in the annual research output and citations related to tardive dyskinesia (1968–2021).

The annual number of citations for TD-related publications rose steeply from the early 1990s and plateaued between 2007 and 2020, with a peak in 2011 (Figure 1). Altogether, there were a total of 182,052 citations for the 5,228 publications, resulting in an average of 34.8 citations per publication and an h-index of 163.

Most active research areas

Psychiatry, neurosciences/neurology, pharmacology/pharmacy, psychology and general internal medicine were the five most active research areas in TD, in that order, during the total study period (1968–2021); the same research areas were prominent during the last decade (2012–2021), but general internal medicine has overtaken psychology in the order of importance (Table 1). A decline in the contribution from psychiatry (from 58.7 to 44.8%) and psychology (8.8 to 5%) occurred. Other trends of note include a rise in contributions from Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (from 2.5 to 4%), Pediatrics (from 1.3 to 1.8%) and Science Technology Other Topics (from 0.65 to 2%).

Most prolific authors

The 25 most prolific authors in TD research during the whole study period and the last decade are listed separately in Table 2. With 101 publications spanning over 4 decades, Kane JM was the most prolific author overall, followed by Lieberman JA and Jeste DV. Kane JM has been most active in TD research during the 1980s. The three most prominent authors during the last decade were Zhang XY, Correll CU and Remington G.

Most prolific journals

With a total of 271 publications, the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry was the most prolific journal overall, followed by the American Journal of Psychiatry and Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. During the last decade, the Journal of Psychopharmacology, Schizophrenia Research and Journal of Clinical Psychiatry were the most prolific. The top 25 journals (Table 3) accounted for 45.4% of all TD publications during the entire study period and 35.4% during the last decade.

Most prolific institutions

With 322 publications (6.25%), US Department of Veterans’ Affairs was the most prolific affiliation related to TD research overall; however, its contribution has dropped down to 2.3% during the last decade (Table 4). The leading contributing institution in the last decade was the University of Toronto. Over the entire study period, the majority of the top 25 institutions (n = 19) were located in the USA, whereas 4 were in Canada, and 2 in England. In the last decade, only 13 of the top 25 were from the USA, while 2 universities from the Netherlands, and one each from China, Japan, France, Germany and Spain made the list.

Most prolific countries and collaborative networks

The country with the highest TD research output was the USA, contributing to 44.3% of the literature overall, and 39% in the last decade (Table 5). The USA was followed by Canada, England, and Germany. Contributions from China have increased during the last decade (from 2.3 to 7.0%). Collaborations between countries visualized using VOSviewer based on co-authorship (Figure 2A) revealed that the USA had the greatest amount of links with other countries [total link strength (TLS) =616], followed by Canada (TLS =274) and England (TLS =238). Co-authorship among countries formed nine clusters: among them, Asian countries, Spanish-speaking countries, Mediterranean countries, and Scandinavian countries appeared to form separate clusters.

Overlay visualization (Figure 2B) revealed temporal trends in publication activity across countries. Of note, several Asian (China, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea) and Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia) showed relatively recent surges in research activity.

Clusters of research and the evolution of knowledge on TD (1968–2021)

Co-citation analysis using CiteSpace revealed the major themes of research on TD (in the form of clusters) and their structural and temporal connections. Co-citation analysis of the 5,228 publications in the period of 1968–2021 identified 15 clusters (Figure 3), each labeled using title words. There was good quality in clustering configurations (weighted mean silhouette value = 0.89), and satisfactory clarity of network decomposition (modularity Q = 0.765).

Historical developments in TD research

Earliest publications on TD

The earliest publication indexed in WoS to include the term “tardive dyskinesia” in the title, abstract or keywords, was a review on TD by Crane (1968) (23). This article reviewed data from 21 publications describing TD in a total of approximately 500 patients. In this article, Crane cited the seminal work by Faurbye et al. (4) who coined the term “tardive dyskinesia” (4). Inspection of the bibliographic data for the article by Faurbye (4) revealed that TD was not mentioned in the title and there was no abstract available for this document. Crane (23) initially cited Sigwald et al. (24) as the first to report the syndrome, but in an addendum, gave credit to the earlier report from 1957 by Schonecker (3, 24).

Early characterization of the TD syndrome

The oldest and the third largest cluster in the network (Figure 3), which commenced its activity in the 1960s (mean year =1971; cluster size = 309), was named “tardive dyskinesia syndrome.” This cluster represents the initial scholarly attempts to characterize the TD syndrome and its pharmacological aspects. The publication with the highest burstness within this cluster (burstness = 66.5) was an article on the pharmacology of TD by Klawans (1973) (25). A few early studies on therapeutic approaches for TD by Kazamatsuri et al. (1973, 1972) were identified as influential publications from this cluster (26, 27).

Early epidemiological studies

The next cluster in chronological order (mean year = 1980) was named “outpatient population.” This cluster was characterized by early studies on TD epidemiology, and seems to have derived its name from studies conducted among “outpatient populations” (28, 29). Schooler and Kane’s (31) article which proposed criteria for diagnosing TD showed the highest citation burst within this cluster (30). The most influential publications from this cluster based on the sigma metric were a review by Kane and Smith (31) on the prevalence and risk factors of TD, and a study by Smith and Baldessarini (32) on the correlation between age and TD prevalence (31, 32) (Table 6).

TABLE 6
www.frontiersin.org

Table 6. Top 25 most influential publications (based on sigmaa values) within TD literature.

Cognitive dysfunction and TD

The next cluster to emerge (mean year = 1987) was rather inaptly named “drug induced akathisia” due to the presence of many articles on akathisia citing this cluster. Inspection of the contents of this cluster revealed that the more relevant theme was the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and TD. In fact, another algorithm (latent semantic indexing) named this cluster as “cognitive dysfunction.” The most influential article on the latter theme (sigma = 1.42, burstness = 25.8) was a study by Waddington and colleagues (1987) on the association between cognitive dysfunction, negative symptoms, and tardive dyskinesia (56).

As seen in Figure 3, starting around the late 1980s, the progression of scientific inquiry appears to have proceeded along two parallel pathways: One pathway includes the clusters “vacuous jaw movements,” “essential fatty acids” and “haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia,” and the other pathway includes the clusters “clozapine treatment,” “bipolar disorder” and “atypical antipsychotics.” The contents of these clusters will be explored next.

Animal models of TD

The cluster named “vacuous jaw movements,” which become active during the late 1980s (mean year = 1988), represents animal studies conducted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying drug-induced movement disorders. It appears to have derived its name from studies on “vacuous jaw movements,” a form of chewing movements observed in rodents following administration of certain pharmacologic agents, e.g., dopamine antagonists. The most influential publication in this respect was a review article by Waddington (1990) that critically evaluated the evidence for a putative rodent model for TD and identified inconsistencies in the extant literature (34). This article had the highest centrality value of all publications in the overall network (centrality = 0.16), signifying a pivotal point within the TD literature.

Oxidative mechanisms

The cluster named “essential fatty acids” which became active during the early 1990s (mean year = 1992) revealed a research interest directed toward antioxidants and free radical pathology in relation to schizophrenia and TD. The most relevant article citing this cluster was a review by Reddy and Yao (1996) on free radical pathology in schizophrenia (57). The closely linked cluster named “haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia” (mean year = 1998), with notable structural overlap with the “essential fatty acids” cluster, seems to have extended the scientific inquiry into the neurochemical basis of TD, with continuing inputs derived from animal studies. The publications with the highest burstness from this cluster were on oxidative mechanisms of TD (49), neurotoxicity associated with neuroleptic-induced oral dyskinesias in rats (53) and pathophysiology and animal models of TD (41).

Clozapine and TD

A cluster named “clozapine treatment” (mean year = 1990) reflected the rise in the use of clozapine as a treatment for schizophrenia around that time and its potential impact on TD literature. A pioneering clinical trial by Kane and colleagues (37) which evaluated the effectiveness of clozapine versus chlorpromazine for treatment-resistant schizophrenia has experienced a strong citation burst from 1989 to 1998 (burstness = 71.2), and was the most influential publication (sigma = 25.17) within this cluster (36). Another article with high burstness within this cluster was a review on the effect of clozapine on TD by Lieberman et al. (38); this article reviewed eight studies on the effects of clozapine on TD and found that approximately 43% of patients improved after clozapine treatment (58).

TD in bipolar disorder

A relatively small cluster named “bipolar disorder” had become active during the 1990s (mean year = 1995, cluster size = 60). This cluster represents the increased attention directed toward the use of antipsychotics for the treatment of bipolar disorder and the consequent concerns for TD. The publication with the highest burst strength in this cluster was a placebo-controlled study that assessed the efficacy and safety of olanzapine for the treatment of acute mania (59). In this study, no significant difference in the risk of TD was found for olanzapine in comparison with a placebo.

Clinical trials of atypical antipsychotics

The largest cluster in the network, with 330 publications, was named “atypical antipsychotics” (red cluster in Figure 3). This cluster became active in the early 1990s and continued its activity till around 2010, reflecting a surge of research on the efficacy and tolerability of atypical antipsychotics, and their relationship to TD. Among the most influential publications in this cluster were clinical trials comparing atypical antipsychotics with typical ones (35, 38, 40) and a meta-analysis (39) comparing the same. The publication with the strongest citation burst of all time was also part of this cluster: A systematic review of 1-year studies comparing the risk of TD for atypical antipsychotics against typical antipsychotics (54) showed a strong citation burst from 2005 to 2014 (burstness = 93.4). The article with the second highest centrality value (indicating a pivotal point) within the whole network, a Canadian placebo-controlled trial that compared risperidone and haloperidol for the treatment of schizophrenia (35) was also part of this cluster. This study had demonstrated a significant beneficial effect of risperidone for TD.

Pharmacogenetics of TD

During the late 1990s, a relatively large cluster named “association study” had started to become active (cluster size = 236). It represents pharmacogenetic studies of TD. This cluster has been highly active in the early 2000s (mean year =2004), and its activity seems to have persisted till date. The most influential article within this cluster was a study on the association between TD and the dopamine D3 receptor gene Ser9Gly polymorphism (47); their findings supported a small but significant contribution of the DRD3 ser9gly polymorphism to TD susceptibility. A strong citation burst can be observed also for an earlier study on the dopamine D3-receptor gene variant (60). The second most influential publication in this cluster was a meta-analysis of pharmacogenetic interactions of TD (61).

Recent trends

The more recent research interests related to TD are reflected by the clusters on the right side of the network shown in Figure 3. A timeline perspective of these clusters revealed four clusters with significant activity during the last decade (Figure 4). To further expand on recent trends, a separate co-citation network for publications from the last decade only (1,001 publications from 2012–2021) was also examined (Figures 5, 6). This latter network demonstrated 10 clusters, most of which corresponded to clusters in Figure 3 in terms of research themes. Notably, a cluster named “Tourette syndrome,” which was not observed in the 1968–2021 network, appeared in the 2012–2021 network. The cluster named “schizophrenia patient” in the 2012–2021 network appeared to be a continuation of interest in cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, with a greater focus on brain-derived nerve-growth factor and superoxide dismutase in the recent period.

In addition to the co-citation networks and clusters, recent citation bursts and keyword trends also provided insight into recent trends. Some noteworthy citations bursts (Figure 7) from the recent years are mentioned under respective clusters below. The top 25 citation bursts from the 2012–2021 network were also examined separately (Figure 8) to identify notable bursts from the recent years, since older publications tend to have higher burst values overall.

Duration of citation burst is depicted by the red line appearing along the timeline. Some studies show bursts still in progress.

Serotonergic receptors and deep brain stimulation

A cluster named “antipsychotic induced motor symptom” (cluster size = 18, mean year = 2009) revealed an interest in the role of serotonergic receptors, particularly the 5HT2C receptor, in antipsychotic-induced motor symptoms including TD. The most relevant article citing this cluster was a review on the role of serotonin in antidyskinetic effects of DBS (62). The most influential publication associated with this cluster (sigma =23.6) was a review by Casey (2004) where the author discusses the pathophysiology of antipsychotic-induced movement disorders, including the role of serotonergic receptors in mitigating motor effects (63). The “antidyskinetic effect” cluster from the 2012–2021 network corresponded with this theme (Figure 5), and additionally demonstrated an increasing focus on DBS as a treatment for TD.

Primary motor abnormalities of schizophrenia

A cluster named “motor abnormalities” (cluster size = 49, mean year = 2011), which has been active during the last decade, examines the notion that primary motor abnormalities are part of a neurodysfunction intrinsic to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The most influential publication in this cluster (sigma = 12.8) was a systematic review on spontaneous movement disorders in antipsychotic-naive patients with first-episode psychoses (64). The most relevant citer of this cluster was a review (65) postulating motor dysfunction as an intermediate phenotype across schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The corresponding cluster from the 2012–2021 network was named as “motor dysfunction.”

Dopamine supersensitivity psychosis

The concept of “dopamine supersensitive psychosis” appears to have attracted attention within the TD literature during the last decade, as reflected by the eponymous cluster (mean year = 2012). Influential articles in this cluster included an editorial discussing the relevance of DSP for atypical antipsychotics, and a review on the optimal extent of D2 receptor occupancy by antipsychotics for the treatment of DSP (66, 67). The most relevant article citing this cluster was a recent review on diagnostic considerations in DSP (68). A corresponding cluster with the same name can be seen in the 2012–2021 network.

Recent epidemiological studies and advances in TD treatment

The most recent and the second largest cluster in the overall network (mean year = 2013, size = 309) was named “tardive dyskinesia.” Two clusters from the 2012–2021 network (“tardive dyskinesia” and “antipsychotic induced tardive dyskinesia”) corresponded with this theme. Inspection of this cluster identified two main lines of research interest: a renewed interest in the epidemiology of TD particularly in regard to atypical antipsychotics, and studies exploring new treatment options for TD, such as VMAT-2 inhibitors. The most influential publication in the whole network (Table 6) was identified from this cluster; this was a review by Correll and Schenk (2008) providing updated rates of TD with typical and atypical antipsychotics (33). Other influential publications on TD epidemiology included a more recent meta-analysis of TD prevalence in the period of atypical antipsychotic use (8) and a prospective cohort study investigating the incidence of TD with atypical versus conventional antipsychotic medications (46). Both these studies are currently experiencing strong citation bursts. Several publications on newer treatment options for TD are also showing currently active citation bursts; these include clinical trials of deutetrabenazine (69, 70) and valbenazine (71) as well as an evidence-based guideline formulated in 2013 by the American Academy of Neurology (42) for the treatment of tardive syndromes. Clinical trials on amantadine (72) and Vitamin B6 (73) were also included among influential publications. The most relevant publication citing this cluster was a recent review on advances in the pharmacology of tardive dyskinesia (74). A 2018 update (75) to the earlier guideline by the American Academy of Neurology was found to be the most influential publication from the last five years in the 2012–2021 co-citation network.

Hyperkinetic movement disorders

A cluster named “Tourette syndrome” (cluster size = 43, mean year = 2013) emerged in the 2012–2021 network. This cluster represents the overlapping treatment options for hyperkinetic movement disorders, such as Tourette syndrome, Huntington’s chorea and TD. Particularly, an interest in the use of dopamine depleting agents, such as VMAT-2 inhibitors, for the treatment of hyperkinetic disorders other than TD was seen in this cluster. The most influential article on this theme was a 2016 review on the use of dopamine depleters in the treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders (76), and the most important citer of this cluster was a 2018 review on treatment options for chorea (77).

Keyword patterns and trends

The keyword co-occurrence network for the top 1,000 keywords visualized using VOSViewer is shown in Figure 9A. The 10 most frequently co-occurring keywords (apart from tardive dyskinesia) were schizophrenia, haloperidol, double-blind, clozapine, antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics, risperidone, dopamine, prevalence and olanzapine. Keywords were algorithmically grouped into 7 clusters. The main themes identified from these keyword clusters were animal models and neuroanatomical correlates (cluster #1, red, 278 items), efficacy and safety of antipsychotics (cluster #2, green, 274 items), pharmacogenetics (cluster #3, deep blue, 174 items), movement disorders and treatment options (cluster #4, yellow, 123 items), epidemiology (cluster #5, purple, 96 items) and oxidative processes (cluster #6, light blue, 68). The seventh and smallest cluster (orange, 28 items) appeared to be a conceptual overlap between cluster #2 and cluster #4.

The thickness of lines connecting keywords indicates how frequently they co-occurred. (B) Overlay visualization. Yellow and yellow-green colored nodes indicate keywords with more recent surges.

The overlay visualization of the keyword network (Figure 9B) illustrates temporal trends in keyword occurrence. The most recent keywords (shown in yellow or yellow-green) were VMAT 2 inhibitor (mean year = 2019.5), deutetrabenazine (mean year = 2019.1), valbenazine (mean year = 2018.7), nbi-98,854 (mean year = 2018.5), dopamine supersensitivity psychosis (mean year = 2017.6), and tardive syndrome (mean year = 2017.56).

Keyword occurrence bursts visualized using CiteSpace also revealed temporal trends. Data for keywords were available in WoS only from 1990 onwards. The 100 strongest keyword bursts from 1990 to 2021 are shown in Supplementary Figure S1. Some salient observations on keyword bursts include the following. Keywords related to animal studies (e.g., rat rat brain) had shown bursts during the 1990s. Many keywords related to neurochemistry (e.g., receptor binding antagonist agonist D2 receptor D1 dopamine receptor) also showed bursts during the same decade. The keywords neuroleptics neuroleptic treatment neuroleptic drug have been active during that period whereas the terms antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics seem to have become active only beyond 2005. Some keywords related to neuroanatomy (nucleus accumbens substantia nigra striatum and basal ganglia) were also identified from the 1990s onward. Among the dopamine receptors D1 and D2 were cited in the early 1990s and D3 became active after 2000. Among names of antipsychotics clozapine showed a burst from 1995 to 2002; whereas risperidone (1999–2004) olanzapine (2001–2013) and quetiapine (2003–2010) appeared subsequently. Keywords related to pharmacogenetics such as D3 receptor gene variant susceptibility and promoter region showed bursts between 2000 and 2010. Bursts for some keywords related to metabolic side effects such as diabetes mellitus (2002–2008) and weight gain (2002–2010) indicated the concerns about concurrent metabolic effects of antipsychotics following the widespread use of atypical antipsychotics. Terms related to oxidative stress have shown bursts during the 1990s (alpha tocopherol vitamin E) 2000s (manganese superoxide dismutase nitric oxide) and the 2010s (oxidative stress lipid peroxidation). Quality of life showed a burst in 2005–2015 indicating an interest in the impact of TD on the quality of life of patients. Keywords related to treatment methods for TD have become active mostly after 2008. In this time period botulinum toxin (2008–2021) deep brain stimulation (2010–2021) tetrabenazine (2015–2021) ginkgo biloba (2015–2018) deutetrabenazine (2017–2021) and nbi-98,854/valbenazine (2017–2021) each showed keyword bursts. Other recent bursts with currently ongoing activity are noted for bipolar disorder (2019–2021) major depressive disorder (2017–2021) double blind/controlled trial (2018–2021) movement disorder (2015–2021) and first episode (2014–2021).

Discussion

Summary of the main findings

In this scientometric review, we have mapped the evolution of scientific knowledge about TD over a period of 54 years (1968–2021) using state-of-the-art scientometric mapping tools. Publication trends over the years as well as the most prolific authors, institutions and countries during the entire study period and during the last decade (2012–2021) were summarized. Research activity peaked in the 1990s, gradually declined after 2004, and showed a small increase again after 2015. Network of co-cited references revealed fifteen hotspots (or clusters) in research. Structural and temporal metrics identified the most important publications within the network; the most influential publication was a review by Correll and Schenk (2008) on TD rates for atypical versus typical antipsychotics (33).

Beginning in the 1960s, the first clusters represented a research trend that sought to characterize the clinical features, pharmacological basis, and epidemiology of TD. This trend continued into the 1980s, and then the corpus of literature diverged into two directions by the latter part of the decade and two parallel trends became active in the 1990s; one trend attempted to elucidate the etiology of TD with studies on animal models and oxidative mechanisms, while another trend was based on clinical trials comparing atypical against typical antipsychotics. Etiologic studies seemed to be linked to the more recent knowledge base by a cluster of pharmacogenetic studies. The most recent clusters represented interest in the role of serotonergic receptors and DBS, DSP, primary motor abnormalities of schizophrenia, hyperkinetic disorders, advances in the treatment of TD, and updated epidemiologic evidence.

Trends in TD research

At the peak of research activity during the 1990s, researchers had been focused on studying the pathophysiology of TD on the one hand, and the risk of TD with atypical antipsychotics, on the other. The rising availability of new technology would have facilitated pathophysiological studies during this period, whereas the widespread introduction of atypical antipsychotics in the 1990s and the possibility of a lower risk of TD with these newer antipsychotics would have stimulated research interest in the latter. Notably, quality of life in relationship to TD has only emerged as an issue in the 2005–2015 period, likely due to the lack of a TD-specific quality of life and functionality scale (7880) despite increasing focus on patient reported outcomes and quality of life in the area of psychiatry at large. Since the turn of the century, research interest in TD had started to dwindle, possibly because of the assurances provided by influential studies published around that time (54) indicating a lower risk of TD with newer antipsychotics. However, a subsequent update on TD risk for atypical antipsychotics in 2008, which was identified as the most important publication, showed that the incidence of TD with atypical antipsychotics was higher than previously reported. Despite this evidence, interest in TD continued to decline until 2014. Another reason for the dwindling interest in TD may be the shift of focus from motor side effects to metabolic side effects of antipsychotics, a prominent trend that was noted after 2000 in a previous scientometric paper (22). Similarly, in our analysis of keywords, weight gain and diabetes mellitus showed bursts between 2000 and 2010. The apparent resurgence of interest after 2015 would have been consequent to the promising results seen for VMAT-2 inhibitors as a treatment method for TD and other hyperkinetic disorders (76, 81, 82) substantiated by the Food and Drug Authority (FDA) approval of two VMAT-2 inhibitors – valbenazine and deutetrabenazine- in 2017 for the treatment of TD. Starting in 2017, some key publications on valbenazine (71) and deutetrabenazine (69, 70) have been displaying strong citation bursts, while the same keywords started to show bursts since 2017. A keyword burst for tetrabenazine (an older VMAT inhibitor), which started in 2015, is also ongoing. It is interesting to note that, in spite of some influential publications from the early 1970s (26, 27) that studied tetrabenazine as a treatment for TD, the interest in VMAT-2 inhibitors had remained dormant for more than four decades.

Scholars have debated the differentiation between spontaneous dyskinesias and TD for many decades (1). However, interest in this area seems to have been revived recently. According to the most important publication from this theme, spontaneous dyskinesias were reported in 9% of antipsychotic-naive patients with first-episode psychoses (64). There appears to be an emerging interest in studying motor dysfunction as an intermediate phenotype of psychotic illnesses (65).

DSP has also garnered attention during recent years. It has been posited that dopamine hypersensitivity resulting from long-term treatment with dopamine receptor blocking agents may lead to tolerance to the antipsychotic effects leading to an unstable psychotic state associated with TD. Such destabilization has also been observed as part of breakthrough psychosis even during assured treatment with long-acting antipsychotics (83, 84). Although cumulative antipsychotic dose was not a consistent risk factor for breakthrough psychosis, TD was indeed a risk factor (85). Consequently, DSP has been associated with treatment resistance in schizophrenia, and some important publications on this theme (66, 67) were identified by this study.

Pharmacogenetics has become a thriving research area in many fields of medicine over the last few decades, with the increased availability of genetic testing facilities. Pharmacogenetic studies in relation to TD have also become active in the late 1990s, and the influence of this trend of research is still visible. Many potential risk genes for TD, particularly the dopamine receptor gene variants, have been investigated (47, 60, 61). However, the evidence appears to be inconclusive, and the contributions from the studied gene variants to TD risk have been small. In the future, if risk genes with better predictive value for TD are identified, genetic testing might allow personalization of antipsychotic selection, thereby minimizing the incidence of TD.

Uses and practical implications of the findings

Scientometrics (or bibliometrics) is a useful method to efficiently review a large and rapidly expanding body of literature to identify its trends and hotspots (11, 18). Knowledge of the most prominent authors and institutions would be useful to many groups of people. Researchers searching for collaborations and postgraduate research candidates looking for mentors or supervisors would benefit from the knowledge of prominent authors and institutions working on TD. In our study, we mentioned the most influential publications related to each research hotspot; this knowledge can be useful for anyone looking for literature on these topics, and to understand the evolution of knowledge on TD in general. The top journals in TD publications presented here can be useful for those who are searching for literature on TD and for researchers who are choosing a journal to submit their TD-related papers to. The prominent keywords under different themes identified within the literature can be useful in creating search queries in database searches and in listing relevant keywords in manuscripts.

The majority of the literature on TD was based on Western data. Although Japan, China and India have made important contributions to the field, and a recent increase in publications from Asian countries was visible, more research on TD among non-Western populations would be warranted since genetic and cultural variations may limit the applicability of Western findings to other populations.

Strengths and limitations

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and mapping of the extant literature on TD. Since the term “tardive dyskinesia” is a unique term with little possibility of being used outside its current sense, most of the articles selected from the database using this keyword would have some relevance for TD. Our choice of scientometric tools allowed us to visually represent trends and hotspots of research, which facilitates the reader’s understanding of the findings. In contrast to previous narrative reviews which had described the history of TD research (1, 5), our review has a more comprehensive coverage of the literature and was guided by objective indicators, such as structural and temporal metrics. The co-citation network and the clusters had good decomposition and cluster configurations, supporting the validity of these findings.

Our study also has several limitations. The bibliographic data were obtained from the WoS only. Although WoS is one of the largest databases, there may have been publications in other databases not indexed by WoS, leading to limited coverage (86). Currently, there is no reliable method to de-duplicate combined datasets based on multiple databases for co-citation analysis. WoS was chosen as its data are generally considered the most suitable for co-citation analysis (22).

In general, bibliometric analyses do not systematically screen all included articles for their relevance to the topic. Although we included publications with the term “tardive dyskinesia” in the title, abstract or keywords, there would have been publications without direct relevance to TD, and also, we may have missed some publications related to TD. Similarly, although we identified the most influential and pivotal publications using statistical indicators, the quality and risk of bias in these articles were not ascertained. Studies which are cited more frequently are not necessarily of high quality; studies that receive criticism within the scientific community for poor quality can also receive more citations. Citation bias can occur due to a variety of reasons. For example, positive study outcomes, the authority of the authors, and higher journal impact factor are associated with greater likelihood of being cited (87). Since the co-citation networks are generated using citation data, these biases can influence the results. In addition, publication bias is widespread and may have influenced these findings (88). Industry sponsorship may have also influenced the productivity in TD research and operated as a source of publication bias. It is possible that repetition and duplication of publication reflect marketing objectives rather than scientific merit in some areas, such as antipsychotic and anti-TD drug development. However, the extent of these biases could not be assessed in the present bibliometric method. Finally, more recent trends may not have been captured by co-cited networks, as the most recent publications have fewer citations.

Conclusion

This bibliometric study visualized the evolution of scientific knowledge on TD over more than five decades and identified some emerging trends. The most prolific authors, institutions and countries were identified. Early scientific interest in the 1970s-1980s dealt with clinical features and epidemiology of TD, followed by pathophysiological studies and clinical trials comparing the risk of TD with dopamine receptor blocking agents in the 1990s. After a peak of research interest in the 1990s, interest in TD gradually declined, but a small resurgence of interest was observed following the FDA approval of two VMAT-2 inhibitors in 2017 as active treatment options for TD. Recent research interests included the role of serotonergic receptors in TD, DBS as a treatment, DSP, primary motor abnormalities of schizophrenia, hyperkinetic disorders, recent updates on TD treatment and epidemiology. These bibliometric findings can be useful for researchers to find relevant literature when writing scientific articles, choosing appropriate journals, finding collaborators or mentors for research, and to understand the historical developments and current trends in TD research.
