Surveillance of polychlorinated biphenyl congeneric patterns in human breast milk from 1973 to 2000 in Osaka, Japan.
Article in Environmental health and preventive medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveBecause the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 1970's was performed using a packed column gas chromatograph, with an electron capture detector to determine total-PCB concentration, analytical data obtained by this analysis do not meet the requirement for the risk assessment of PCB congeners. In this context, the present study was carried out to reevaluate the congeneric analysis data by analyzing breast milk fat specimens that have been kept frozen.
methodsPCB congeners in human breast milk were analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) using a capillary column for the selected ion monitoring (SIM) of PCBs.
resultsTwelve major PCB congeners were detected in breast milk. The concentrations of all congeners of PCBs in breast milk were found to decrease annually, and their changes over time differed greatly for each congener. Between 1973 and 2000, almost no changes in the proportions of the 12 congeners of heptachlorinated biphenyls (HpCBs) and hexachlorinated biphenyls (HxCBs) were found whereas a marked and a slight decrease in the proportion of pentachlorinated biphenyls (PeCBs) and tetrachlorinated biphenyls (TeCBs), respectively, were observed.
conclusionsThe PCB contamination of the Japanese population is estimated to be largely caused by seafood intake, but the proportions of PCB congeners in fish commodities were different from those in breast milk. The absorption, metabolism and therefore the accumulation of PCBs in the human body differ greatly depending on the congener.
