Mapping the Momentum : Evaluating Research Productivity and Collaborative Networks in Bioethics Across the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
Article in Journal of bioethical inquiry, 2026. 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
Identifying the trends and patterns of bioethics research in the Eastern Mediterranean Region provides valuable insights into research interests and productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the region's bioethics research outputs between 1974-2022 using a bibliometric approach. Publications from countries in the region indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed were analysed. The results showed a clear upward trend, with an average annual growth rate of 39 per cent in bioethics publications, while the growth rate of citations was nearly twice as high. Iran was identified as the most prolific country, followed by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. However, intra-regional and extra-regional co-authorships accounted for only 7 per cent and 17 per cent of publications, respectively, indicating limited research collaboration. The main non-regional collaborators were the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Further development of bioethics research in the region requires strengthened capacity building at both national and regional levels.
