A prospective study of arsenic and manganese exposures and maternal blood pressure during gestation.
Article in Environmental research, 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
backgroundPregnancy is a sensitive time for maternal cardiovascular functioning and exposures to arsenic or manganese may adversely affect blood pressure (BP).
objectivesThis study examined the associations between arsenic and manganese exposures and maternal BP measured during pregnancy. Effect modification by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) was evaluated.
methodsPregnant women (N = 1522) were recruited for a prospective cohort study in Bangladesh (2008-2011). Exposure to arsenic and manganese was measured in drinking water at <16 weeks gestation and toenails at one-month postpartum. Systolic and diastolic BP were measured monthly. Linear mixed models estimated mean BP and differences in mean BP over gestation for arsenic or manganese exposures and adjusted for covariates.
resultsArsenic levels had an increasing dose-response association with maternal BP after 25 weeks gestation. Effect modification was observed for BMI. Participants with lower BMI (<23 kg/m
conclusionArsenic exposures during pregnancy were consistently associated with increased average maternal systolic and diastolic BP. The effect of manganese on BP was less consistent.
