Global trends in research on eating behaviors among overweight/obese children and adolescents: a bibliometric study from 2003 to 2023.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: Despite the widespread interest in overweight/obese children and adolescents, there is a lack of bibliometric research on the factors influencing eating behaviors. Methods: Collated and screened research papers published between 2003 and 2023 on eating behaviors in children and adolescents affected by overweight or obesity, searched on January 1, 2024. The primary data, comprising complete records and referenced citations of publications, was extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. Analysis of data using Bibliometrix of R package, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. Results: A total of 2,142 articles were included. The United States had the most publications in the field and was also the center point for world collaborations. Harvard University had the most affiliated publications, while Luis Moreno was the most prolific author. NUTRIENTS was the most published journal. High-frequency keywords included Children, overweight, physical activity, body mass index, and childhood obesity. Research trends include Epidemiology and Environment factors of obesity; Health risks associated with childhood obesity; Key eating habits and interventions for childhood obesity; Prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity. Conclusion: This research provides a comprehensive overview of global trends and key areas in studying dietary behaviors among overweight/obese children and adolescents. It offers a detailed summary of recent advancements, emphasizing this field's critical principles and practices. By exploring these developments, the study highlights the growing importance of this research within global healthcare and suggests pathways for future research and applications.
