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

This study examined the effect of high-temperature conditions and uniform wear time durations (expeditionary, 33 h continuous wear; garrison, 3 days, 8 h/day wear) on permethrin exposure, assessed by urinary permethrin biomarkers, from wearing post-tailored, factory-treated military uniforms. Four group study sessions took place over separate 11-day periods, involving 33 male Soldiers. Group 1 (n = 10) and Group 2 (n = 8) participants wore a study-issued permethrin-treated Army uniform under high heat environment (35 °C, 40% relative humidity (rh)) and expeditionary and garrison wear-time conditions, respectively. For comparison, Group 3 (n = 7) and Group 4 (n = 8) participants wore study-issued permethrin-treated uniforms in cooler ambient conditions under operational and garrison wear-time conditions, respectively. Urinary biomarkers of permethrin (3-phenoxybenzoic acid, and the sum of cis- and trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) were significantly higher under high temperature compared to ambient conditions, regardless of wear-time situations (Group 1 vs. Group 3; Group 2 vs. Group 4; p < 0.001, for both). Under high-temperature conditions, expeditionary (continuous) compared to garrison wear-time resulted in significantly (p < 0.001) higher urinary biomarker concentrations (Group 1 vs. Group 2). Differences related to wear-time under the ambient conditions (Group 3 vs. Group 4) were not statistically significant. Findings suggest that wearing permethrin-treated clothing in heat conditions results in higher internal dose of permethrin above that observed under ambient conditions.
