Secondhand tobacco smoke exposure is associated with prolactin but not thyroid stimulating hormone among nonsmoking women seeking in vitro fertilization.
Article in Environmental toxicology and pharmacology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Prolactin (PRL) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) serve important roles in the reproductive and other systems. Active smoking is associated with changes in PRL and TSH secretion, but the relationship between secondhand tobacco smoke (STS) exposure and these hormones is unclear. We measured PRL and TSH in serum as well as cotinine in follicular fluid (to estimate STS exposure) among 314 nonsmoking women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment. We observed a significant increase in PRL concentrations (p=0.03) among STS-exposed nonsmokers compared to unexposed nonsmokers. There was no significant difference in TSH concentration (p>0.4) among those exposed to STS compared to those who were unexposed. STS exposure is associated with an increase in circulating PRL but not TSH levels. Future studies are needed to confirm our results, identify biological mechanisms involved, and better understand the potential clinical and public health implications.
