Migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) into PET-Bottled Beverages: A Comprehensive Review and Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Toxics, 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
The presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in beverages packaged in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has attracted increasing attention due to its endocrine-disrupting effects and the controversy over its origin, since virgin PET does not use BPA as a monomer. This review aimed to analyze evidence on BPA occurrence in PET-packaged beverages, migration from PET itself, associated factors, analytical methodologies, and potential contamination sources. A literature search was conducted in Scopus following PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 60 studies analyzed using Bibliometrix (Biblioshiny), VOSviewer, and qualitative evidence synthesis. Publications increased markedly after 2020, with a thematic shift toward food safety, contaminant migration, and circular economy. Temperature, storage time, ultraviolet radiation, beverage characteristics, packaging composition, and recycled PET were identified as factors associated with BPA occurrence or migration. However, the available evidence does not conclusively demonstrate that BPA detected in PET-packaged beverages originates from the migration of virgin PET. Moreover, substantial heterogeneity in analytical methods, detection limits, sample matrices, and experimental conditions limits direct comparison of BPA concentrations and the strength of overall conclusions. Standardized analytical approaches and robust studies are needed to clarify BPA sources and support future risk assessment and regulatory decisions.
