Information security education: a thematic trend analysis.
Synthesis in F1000Research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The evolution of information technologies has led to a significant increase in information security risks, underscoring the urgent need for professional education in this field to safeguard organizational data. Publications on this topic highlight the necessity of educating individuals about data security, and their number has grown in recent years. This study aims to identify thematic trends in information security education through a bibliometric analysis based on five research questions, following PRISMA guidelines. Ninety-nine documents from Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed, revealing a quadratic growth, with 2023 as the year of greatest research activity. Prominent contributors such as Von Solms, Safa, and Furnell stand out, along with the journal Computers & Security and the significant influence of the United States in this field. The potential is identified in the following areas: information security culture, media, information security regulations, higher education institutions, information security management, and cybersecurity. The study also identifies gaps and proposes a research agenda to address these gaps.
