Statistical Methods for Assessing the Explained Variation of a Health Outcome by a Mixture of Exposures.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Exposures to environmental pollutants are often composed of mixtures of chemicals that can be highly correlated because of similar sources and/or chemical structures. The effect of an individual chemical on a health outcome can be weak and difficult to detect because of the relatively low level of exposures to many environmental pollutants. To tackle the challenging problem of assessing the health risk of exposure to a mixture of environmental pollutants, we propose a statistical approach to assessing the proportion of the variation of an outcome explained by a mixture of pollutants. The proposed approach avoids the difficult task of identifying specific pollutants that are responsible for the effects and may also be used to assess interactions among exposures. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach has very good performance. Application of the proposed approach is illustrated by investigating the main and interaction effects of the chemical pollutants on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
