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

purpose of reviewWe offer here a review of intraindividual variability in urinary biomarkers for assessing exposure to nonpersistent chemicals. We provide thoughts on how to better evaluate exposure to nonpersistent chemicals. RECENT

findingsWe summarized reported values of intraclass correlation coefficients and found that most values fall into categories that indicate only poor to good reproducibility. Even within the "good" classification, a large percentage of study participants is likely to be misclassified as to their exposure. There is sufficient information to support the statement that studies using only one spot measurement of a nonpersistent chemical will be unreliable. It is unequivocal that multiple samples have to be collected over a period of toxicological relevance and with consideration of exposure patterns. Sponsors of research and researchers themselves should be vocal about ensuring that sufficient resources are made available to properly characterize exposures when studying nonpersistent chemicals. Otherwise, we will continue to see an ever-growing body of literature yielding inconsistent and/or uninterpretable results.
