Trends of secondhand smoke exposure among children: A scientometric analysis.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSecondhand smoke (SHS) exposure poses significant risks to children's health, yet global research on this issue requires further analysis to facilitate a comprehensive exploration of knowledge production and topic trends. This study aims to analyze the research outputs, cooperation and evolution on children's exposure to secondhand smoke.
methodsA scientometric approach was employed to analyze global research on adolescent secondhand smoke exposure. Data were gathered from scholarly databases and analyzed using CiteSpace software, which was used to assess publication trends, citation patterns, and research collaborations. The study examined publications, citations, interdisciplinary collaboration across countries, institutions, authors, and disciplines, as well as identifying research hotspots and emerging trends using burst detection and co-citation network analysis.
resultsThe analysis revealed significant growth in research on adolescent SHS exposure over recent decades, with the United States, United Kingdom, and China being the most productive countries in this field. Key journals in the substance abuse field serve as the primary venues for publishing relevant studies. Interdisciplinary collaborations have increased, particularly between health, policy, and social science disciplines. Research hotspots include the impact of SHS on children's physical and mental health, with a particular focus on behavioral and developmental issues. Additionally, e-cigarette and heated tobacco products have emerged as new concerns in recent research.
conclusionsThe study highlights the rapid expansion of research on SHS exposure among children, underscoring the growing recognition of its widespread health impacts. Interdisciplinary research collaborations are becoming more prevalent, and significant efforts are needed to address emerging issues such as e-cigarette exposure. These results underscore the need for further research to explore and address these evolving issues.
