Environmental Exposures, the Epigenome, and African American Women's Health.
Review in Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Stress is a common feature of modern life, but both the extent of exposure to stressors and the downstream effects of these stress exposures can vary considerably among individuals, communities, and populations. When individuals are exposed to repeated or chronic stress, wear and tear on the body can accumulate and manifest in many ways. The term "allostatic load" represents the physiological consequences of repeated or chronic exposure to environmental stressors and is linked to fluctuating and/or heightened neural or neuroendocrine responses. African American women are one population subgroup that has been identified as potentially having both an elevated allostatic load and an enhanced resilience to external factors. One mechanism by which environmental stressors may impact human health is via epigenetic remodeling of the genome. This review will focus on what is known about how different types of environmental stressors may affect the epigenome and explore links between epigenetic reprogramming and altered allostatic load and resilience as it pertains to African American women's health.
