Paraben exposures and asthma-related outcomes among children from the US general population.
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
backgroundParabens are synthetic preservatives present in many consumer products. Their antimicrobial and endocrine-disrupting properties have raised concerns that they might play a role in respiratory and allergic diseases; however, studies exploring these associations are scarce.
objectiveWe examined the cross-sectional association between parabens and asthma morbidity among 450 children with asthma and with asthma prevalence among 4023 children in the US general population participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2014).
methodsWe conducted multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between urinary paraben biomarker concentrations (butyl paraben, ethyl paraben, methyl paraben [MP], and propyl paraben [PP]) and asthma attacks and emergency department visits among children with asthma and with a current asthma diagnosis among all children. We also examined heterogeneity of associations by sex.
resultsWe observed an increased prevalence odds of reporting emergency department visits for every 10-fold increase in MP and PP concentrations among boys with asthma (adjusted prevalence odds ratio, 2.61 [95% CI, 1.40-4.85] and 2.18 [95% CI, 1.22-3.89, respectively; P
conclusionWe identified differential effects of exposure to select parabens by sex on asthma morbidity. Further studies are needed to replicate these findings and elucidate mechanisms by which parabens could affect respiratory health and elicit dimorphic effects by sex.
