The Trends and Hotspots of Research on Adolescent Pregnancy: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Article in Journal of prevention (2022), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This bibliometric study aims to contribute to the literature on adolescent pregnancy by exploring gaps, research trends, contributing countries and journals, collaboration networks, and subject themes, offering a macro perspective on the field's development and future directions. This study employed a bibliometric research methodology. Publications containing the keywords adolescent, adolescence, youth, teenager, puberty, juvenile, pregnancy, and pregnant were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database (1980-April 24, 2024) and analyzed using VOSviewer and the open-source R bibliometric package, adhering to predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The concept of adolescent pregnancy has been studied annually from 1980 to the present, peaking in 2022. Key research topics include sexual and reproductive health, contraception, and depression. According to Lotka's Law, 84.7% of authors in this field have published only once. Recent studies have focused on birth weight and pregnancy risks. The most cited publication globally and locally is by Ganchimeg et al., while the Journal of Adolescent Health is the most productive platform. The United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Canada, and Turkey are the most productive countries in this field. The results of this study highlight that adolescent pregnancy remains a global public health issue, as evidenced by its consistent presence in annual research. Key research gaps and trends include social and emotional challenges faced by pregnant adolescents, physical development and health during adolescent pregnancy, causes and prevalence trends, preventive education services, and psychosocial interventions. Further research is essential to develop effective interventions for preventing adolescent pregnancy and safeguarding the best interests of children.
