Association between prenatal nickel exposure and preterm low birth weight: possible effect of selenium.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There is a proposed link between prenatal nickel (Ni) exposure and preterm low birth weight (PLBW); however, this association remains unclear. Selenium (Se) may modify this relationship by protecting against Ni toxicity. Concentrations of Ni and Se were measured in urine samples collected from 408 pregnant women (102 PLBW cases and 306 matched controls) in China. Conditional logistic regression was utilized to explore the association between Ni levels and PLBW, as well as the effect modification by Se on this association. A significant association was observed between higher maternal urinary Ni levels and risk of PLBW [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.80 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.44, 5.44) for the highest tertile], and this association was more apparent among female infants than that among male infants. Further analyses showed that mothers with high urinary Ni and low urinary Se levels had a significantly increased risk for PLBW [adjusted OR = 2.87 (95% CI: 1.09, 7.56)] compared with the mothers with low urinary Ni and high urinary Se levels. Our study indicates that prenatal exposure to Ni was a risk factor for PLBW. Se might provide protection against the toxicity of Ni.
