Mapping, dynamism, thematic evolution of the scientific production on Make up or Beauty products and cancer: A scientometric study.
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
backgroundIn recent years, there has been increasing interest in understanding whether there is a relationship between the use of beauty products and the development of cancer. This study aims to map and analyze the scientific production published on this topic, identifying its evolution, collaboration dynamics, and academic impact. MATERIAL AND
methodsTo comply with transparency and quality, the guidelines defined by the RAMIBS framework when conducting scientometric studies were adhered to. A search was conducted in the Scopus database on March 21, 2025, and 1,996 articles published from 2022 to 2024 were collected. The data were then analyzed by using SciVal and the Bibliometrix package in R Studio. The analytics examined included number of papers, citations per publication, source, author, institution, country, international collaboration, and thematic analysis based on co-occurrence of keywords.
resultsBetween 2022 and 2025, the analysis revealed an average of 3.7 citations per document, with an average of 7.4 co-authors per article and international participation in 14.8% of the cases. Notable journals included Computers in Biology and Medicine and Medical Physics, and institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Sun Yat-Sen University. Authors such as Bruns and Wang showed high productivity and impact. The countries with the highest collaboration were the United States, China, and Germany. Thematic analysis identified relevant clusters such as "breast cancer", "deep learning", and "skin cancer", reflecting the evolution of approaches in the area.
conclusionThe growing volume of scientific evidence reflects an increasingly collaborative and technologically advanced research landscape. This ongoing expansion underscores the importance of sustained monitoring to better understand the potential cancer-related risks associated with cosmetic product use, ultimately informing safer practices and public health strategies.
