Sulfite may disrupt estrogen homeostasis in human via inhibition of steroid arylsulfatase.

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
Steroid arylsulfatase is an important enzyme in human, which plays an important role in dynamic equilibrium of natural estrogens. On the other hand, sulfite can be endogenously produced as a consequence of human body's metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, while its main sources to human are mainly derived from food as it is a widely used additive. Sulfite-sensitivity is a well-known phenomenon to a small proportion of populations. However, its potential adverse effects on healthy individuals have been hardly reported. It was for the first time reported in this study that sulfite could effectively inhibit arylsulfatase, and its IC50 values for the snail- and human urine-derived arylsulfatase were determined to be 71.9 and 142.8 µM, which were lower than the concentration of sulfite in some healthy population. Consequently, it appears that sulfite might disrupt estrogen homeostasis in human, and this deserves further investigation.
