Academic scientific impact and emerging patterns in research on additives, preservatives and asthma: A scientometric analysis.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundFood additives and preservatives are widely used, but the associations between additives and preservatives and asthma have been hardly investigated. The existing research is limited and scattered and warrants further serious scientific and public health inquiry. To examine scientific literature concerning the relationship between food additives, preservatives and asthma. It identified relevant trends and patterns of global interest and measured academic impact an international collaboration in this area. MATERIAL AND
methodsA scientometric analysis was conducted covering publications between January 2019 and March 2025. The indicators considered included annual publication growth, cumulative citations, citation indexes, and international collaboration patterns. The search, conducted in the Scopus database, used specific terms and rigorous criteria. The data obtained were analyzed using R Studio software and the bibliometrix tool, complemented with Bradford's and Lotka's laws, collaboration maps, and thematic diagrams.
resultsFrom 2019 to 2025, 22 total documents related to additives, preservatives, and asthma were located, and a modest level of entrance existed in this emerging area of interest. While reflecting a modest area of interest, the average annual growth rate was 5.7%, with 17 citations on average per document. These 175 authors were all involved through collaborations, and only 9% of the publications used international coauthorships. China was the most active countries with 6 articles, with Denmark having the highest weighted impact. The highest average impact was at the University of Zurich, with 83.5 citations per article. The three most frequent keywords in the publications were asthma, allergy, and food additives, which was indicative that the research focused on illnesses of the respiratory system and how they are related to chemical/natural agents and environment.
conclusionThe research reports aided in establishing global trends and collaboration patterns when studying modern-day additives and asthma. These reports emphasized not only the need to continue understanding food additives and their impacts on respiratory health but also relevant global scientific activities in this area.
