Environmental Toxins Are a Major Cause of Bone Loss.
Article in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The environmental metals cadmium, lead, and mercury, and chemicals such as pesticides, phthalates, and bisphenols, disrupt bone metabolism in many ways. Body levels of these toxins directly correlate, in a dose-dependent manner, with risk of fracture and osteoporosis. This editorial provides a brief summary of key research showing mechanisms of damage, sources, and key strategies to decrease body load.
