A Visualization Analysis of Hotspots and Frontiers in Obesity-Related Executive Functions Research: A Bibliometric Study.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2025. 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: This study aims to provide a visual analysis of the research hotspots and frontiers in the field of obesity-related executive functions using bibliometric methods. Methodology: Our analysis is based on 5814 English-language documents retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software was utilized to conduct bibliometric analysis. The study examines the trends, key players, and thematic evolution in obesity-related executive function research over the past decade. Results: The number of publications in this domain has exhibited a steady linear growth trend, with American institutions and scholars leading in research contributions. The current research focus encompasses co-occurrence and cluster analysis of keywords and references, as well as the brain and associated cognitive functions. Our bibliometric analysis reveals a shift in focus towards the brain, cognition, executive functions, the prefrontal cortex and other related topics in obese individuals, in addition to established areas such as metabolic syndromes, insulin resistance, diabetes, gut microbiota, and dietary intake. Conclusion: This study highlights new entry points for aspiring researchers in the field of obesity and executive functions. Future research directions may include a deeper exploration of the relationship between obesity and specific components of executive functions, such as working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and planning.
