Kokkuvõte	Meta-regression-based co-word analysis is a hybrid scientometric technique that enriches traditional co-word mapping by weighting keyword co-occurrence networks with meta-regression-derived effect estimates. Instead of treating all documents as equally informative, the method uses statistical regression to incorporate study-level moderators — such as publication year, sample size, or methodological quality — into the co-occurrence structure, revealing how thematic clusters in a research field vary across moderator conditions.	Meta-regression is a statistical technique that extends conventional meta-analysis by regressing study-level effect sizes on one or more study characteristics (moderators) to explain between-study heterogeneity. Formalized by Thompson and Higgins in 2002, it uses weighted least squares — weighting each study by the inverse of its variance — within a mixed-effects framework, allowing researchers to identify which study features systematically account for variation in observed effects across the literature.
