Wild boar (Sus scrofa) meat quality research at the crossroads of genetics and nutrition: a global bibliometric mapping.
Review in Food science of animal resources, 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
This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on wild boar (Sus scrofa) meat quality and related attributes, including carcass traits, fatty acid composition, and nutritional characteristics. A total of 423 articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection were retrieved and analyzed using RStudio with the Bibliometrix package, complemented by VOSviewer for network visualization. The results indicate a marked increase in scientific production, reflecting growing interest in both genetic and quality-related aspects of wild boar meat. Leading journals such as Journal of Animal Science and Meat Science dominate the field in terms of productivity and citation impact, highlighting the strong linkage between animal genetics and meat science. Author and country collaboration networks reveal the presence of core research groups, primarily concentrated in Europe, with increasing international cooperation. Keyword co-occurrence and thematic evolution analyses identify three principal research directions: (i) genetic improvement and production traits, (ii) molecular mechanisms and genome-wide association studies, and (iii) meat quality and lipid composition. Overlay and thematic evolution analyses reveal a transition from traditional studies on carcass and growth traits toward genomic approaches and nutritional evaluation in recent years. Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) further confirms the coexistence of production genetics, molecular biology, and meat quality as the field's main conceptual pillars. This study covers the gap of literature by summarizing research output on this individual topic. Overall, the presented work clarifies the intellectual structure, thematic development, and emerging trends in wild boar meat research, providing a valuable reference framework for future investigations integrating genomics, meat science, and nutritional evaluation.
