Supplementary File 1 of manuscript entitled Unveiling the Anticancer Potential of Mangroves: A 2005−2024 Bibliometric Analysis

Context: Demographic forecasts indicate that new cancer cases may reach 35 million by 2050, intensifying the need for novel, regionally tailored control strategies. Mangroves have yielded multiple potential anticancer compounds in recent years, but no bibliometric investigation of their role has been performed. This study aimed to provide a bibliometric overview of research on anticancer activity from mangroves.Methods: We used keywords related to anticancer activity and mangroves to search the Scopus database. VOSviewer and Biblioshiny were used for further analysis.Results: We identified 87 studies on cancer-associated mangroves, with an annual growth rate of 9.89%. Publications have increased since 2005, peaking in 2020. The top five countries and organizations in productivity were China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The top five affiliations were Guangdong Medical University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sun Yat-Sen University, Wuhan University, and Guangdong University of Technology. <i>Wu X</i>, <i>Liu J</i>, <i>Basyuni M</i>, and <i>Tang X</i> were the most prolific authors. Five primary study themes emerged: antineoplastic activity, mangroves, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and protein expression.
