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

backgroundAnimal-based studies indicate that bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is detrimental to reproductive health, but its impact on the earliest stages of germ cell development remains poorly defined.

objectivesUsing a murine

methodsWe used an established method of

resultsExposure of EpiLCs to BPA resulted in higher numbers of cells that were associated with a higher proportion of cells in S-phase as well as a lower proportion undergoing apoptosis; this difference occurred in a concentration-dependent manner. Exposure also resulted in a greater fraction of EpiLCs showing signs of DNA damage. Remarkably, EpiLC exposure did not negatively affect PGC specification and resulted in a concentration-dependent effect on PGCLC proliferation in XX but not XY cells. PGCLC transcriptome analysis revealed an aberrant program with significant deregulation of X-linked genes and retrotransposon expression. Differential gene expression analysis also revealed the deregulation of genes associated with lipid metabolism as well as deregulated expression of genes associated with later stages of gametogenesis.

conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge our findings represent the first characterization of the consequences of early BPA exposure on a model of mammalian PGC development, highlighting altered cell behavior, altered underlying pathways, and altered molecular processes. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP8196.
