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

BACKGROUND/

aimBisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous substance found in a wide array of consumer products and healthcare consumables, and at low doses in drinking water. Currently, in the UK, it is classed as a low-risk substance with little potential for harm. It has been known to have effects on oestrogen receptors. The implications of this for public safety is currently subject to debate. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, we review recent literature regarding the effects and safety of BPA, and discuss the potential implications, in particular from the perspective of human breast oncogenesis. RESULTS AND

conclusionRecent evidence suggests that low-doses of endocrine disruptors, such as BPA, could have profound effects in breast development and cancer risk. Recent studies in murine models suggest that BPA could contribute to breast oncogenesis via several pathways. The position of regulators should shift accordingly to safeguard the public interest.
