Increasing evidence suggests that checklist plays an important role in chronic disease. This study aims to use bibliometric methods to explore the evolving global research trends, hotspots, and emerging frontiers of the application of checklist in chronic disease research, providing deeper insights into the current research landscape and guiding future chronic disease management development efforts. Bibliometrics analysis was performed utilizing RStudio and VOSviewer software. This atlas analyzed the global research trends, hotspots and emerging trends. In total, there were 408 publications authored by 2398 authors from 784 institutions and 53 countries, published in 274 journals. The USA led in publication numbers, international cooperation and societal impact. The leading core journal was Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. The first highly cited document was published in Psychological Assessment by Bovin MJ et al. Chronic disease management, and the validity of treatment and recovery were the hotspots and potential trends. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the application of checklist in chronic disease research, uncovering global research trends and current hotspots while offering valuable insights and references for future research directions.
