Resum	VOSviewer-assisted meta-analysis integrates the bibliometric network visualisation capabilities of VOSviewer into the literature identification and mapping phases of a standard meta-analysis. Before the statistical pooling of effect sizes begins, VOSviewer is used to visualise co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence maps, and publication clusters, helping researchers comprehensively delineate the research field and identify all eligible primary studies for quantitative synthesis.	Bibliometric analysis applies statistical and mathematical methods to bibliographic records — publications, citations, authors, journals, and keywords — to measure and map the structure, output, and intellectual evolution of a research field. It is widely used to identify influential works, prolific authors, productive journals, collaboration networks, and emerging research themes across any academic discipline.
