Sumario:Stem cell therapy has been considered a promising strategy in the management of both type I and type II diabetes mellitus (DM) because of its immunomodulatory and regenerative capability to restore the beta cell number and function. Various modalities of cellular therapy like transplantation of pancreatic islet cells, transplantation of pancreatic ductal stem cells, and mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation have been tried, and the modality is undergoing rapid advancements that may become the reality in the near future. In the course of its evolution, it is essential to have a comprehensive summary of the progress for a greater capacity to refine our future directives. With technological developments like data mining, graphic drawing, and information analytics combined with computational statistics, visualization of scientific metrology has become a reality. With a newer perspective, we intend to use scientometric tools including text mining, co-word analysis, word frequency analysis, co-citation analysis, cluster network analysis, to perform a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the research trend in stem cell therapy in the management of DM over the past three decades (1990–2020) and to identify the future research hotspots.
