Global bibliometric insights on prenatal exposures and pregnancy outcomes.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 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
objectivePrenatal exposure to medications or environmental agents may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes and birth defects. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the global research landscape on prenatal exposures and associated outcomes.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in the Web of Science database on November 11, 2024. Articles and reviews addressing prenatal exposures and pregnancy outcomes, indexed in the Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index-Expanded, or Emerging Sources Citation Index, were screened. Data were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer, the R-package Bibliometrix, and Microsoft Excel 2021.
resultsA total of 3,361 articles were analyzed. Publications on this topic have steadily increased over the past two decades, peaking in 2022. The United States emerged as the most productive country, followed by China and Canada. Gideon Koren was identified as the most prolific author, while Reproductive Toxicology published the highest number of articles. Among the keywords, "pregnancy" remained the most frequent overall; however, "placenta," "adverse pregnancy outcomes," and "systematic review" peaked in 2022, while "meta-analysis," "outcomes," and "stillbirth" peaked in 2021.
conclusionThis bibliometric study highlights the global evolution of scientific research on prenatal exposures and pregnancy outcomes. The findings offer valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, enabling a better understanding of the dynamic trends and emerging areas in this field.
