Global research landscape and emerging frontiers of ultra-processed food intake and cardiometabolic health: a bibliometric and knowledge-mapping analysis (2015-2025).
Synthesis in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Objective: Bibliometric and visual analysis of research on ultra-processed food (UPF) intake and cardiometabolic health from 2015 to 2025. Methods: Publications from 2015 to 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Scopus databases. Analyses were conducted using R software (bibliometrix package), VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Origin 2018. Results: Scholarly output in this field demonstrated a continuous growth trajectory throughout the study period, with the steepest rise concentrated between 2020 and 2021. Brazil led in publication output, followed by the United States and China. The University of São Paulo ranked first among contributing institutions. Conclusion: Global research interest in the relationship between UPF intake and cardiometabolic health has grown substantially over the past decade. This study provides a comprehensive mapping of the current research landscape, key hotspots, and emerging frontiers in this field, offering a valuable reference for future investigations and public health interventions.
