1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo estimate the association between serum bisphenol A and premature thelarche in female infants aged 4-mo to 2-y.

methodsA total of 251 female infants (aged 4 mo to 2 y) with premature thelarche and 33 healthy age-matched control subjects were analyzed. All participants underwent physical examination and serum bisphenol A was measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

resultsSerum bisphenol A concentration in the premature thelarche group (3.48 ng/ml, 95%CI: 0.09-140.26) was significantly higher than that in the control group (1.70 ng/ml, 95%CI: 0.06-51.78) (p = 0.039). There was no correlation between age and serum bisphenol A (BPA) level. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum BPA concentration positively associated with premature thelarche, and the effect of BPA fell down as the age grew.

conclusionsThis hospital-based study implied that there is an association between serum BPA concentrations and premature thelarche. Additionally, serum BPA levels were markedly higher in infants aged 4-mo to 2-y-old, raising a concern for public health authorities.
