Testing baby bottles for the presence of residual and migrated bisphenol A.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Plastic made with bisphenol A (BPA) produces trans-generational changes in genes and behavior. It has been positively linked to obesity and thyroid dysfunction. This study aimed to detect the presence of BPA in polycarbonate plastic (PC) baby bottles. Fifteen PC baby bottles with a clear indication of BPA free/safe/clear were randomly selected. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tests were used to detect residual or migrating BPA post three stress tests. An estimated intake of BPA among children was calculated then compared to the universal tolerable daily intake (TDI). Around 27% of bottles had detectable amounts of residual BPA in the first test, 100% released migrating BPA in the second and third tests. A significant positive linear trend in migrated BPA levels was observed over the three consecutive tests P < 0.0001. Approximately 73.5% of the accounted variability in BPA levels was due to these stress tests P < 0.0001. Babies from 0 to 3 months are expected to consume 0.8 to 23.8% of their safe TDI of BPA just by using plastic bottles between the first time of usage and after 60 washes (estimated 15 to 20 days of usage). Although no bottles have shown a risk of BPA intake exceeding TDI, the combined use of BPA bottles with other plastic utensils might result in reaching it. It is advisable to refrain from using BPA-containing plastic bottles or be cautious about usage duration. Manufacturers should indicate a clear margin of usage duration. Four baby bottle brands showed the least BPA leaking (Baby King, Camera, Sweet Baby, and Farlin).
