Evolution of documents related to performance in boccia: a paralympic sport bibliometric analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The purpose of this study was to develop a bibliometric review of literature related to Boccia, aiming to analyse relevant information related to the adapted sport, and determine the existing relationships/networks between the different authors and countries, as well as methodological procedures of publications. Methods: The Web of Science database was used, considering the keywords "Boccia" OR "Bocha" AND "Sport", applying the filter "topic" to identify documents containing this term in the title, abstract, or keywords. A total of 89 studies were found and 38 selected based on the criteria, published until November 2024. Results: From 2012 forward, the number of studies increased by 81.87% from 2017 to 2024, with a notable rise between 2017 and 2020. Two documents had 20 or more citations Conclusions: The findings emphasize the limited research output in Boccia, particularly regarding performance analysis, coaching methodologies, and athlete development. Future studies should explore training strategies, physiological demands, and the impact of Boccia on athleteś development and social inclusion.
