Hair as a noninvasive biomarker of human exposure to the endocrine disruptors polybrominated diphenyl ethers: a meta-analysis.

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
Several epidemiological studies with small sample sizes have suggested that hair is a promising biomarker of exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). We reanalyzed the data from human studies to investigate correlations between the concentrations of the five main congeners in hair and serum. We searched medical article databases for articles that reported correlation coefficients for concentrations of PBDEs in hair and serum. The methodological quality of the included articles was fully assessed. Then, the correlation coefficients were used for our analysis. Seven epidemiological studies were included in our analysis using the random-effects model. Significant positive relationships were found between the concentrations of the five congeners (BDE28, BDE47, BDE99, BDE100, BDE209) in serum and hair. The results of this study show that hair may be a promising biomarker for the biomonitoring human exposure to the five congeners of PBDEs within a certain detection range. Studies with a larger sample size are needed to explore the detection range.
