Relationship between maternal exposure to heavy metal titanium and offspring congenital heart defects in Lanzhou, China: A nested case-control study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Previous studies have found that exposure to heavy metals increased the incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of information about the connection between exposure to titanium and CHDs. This study sought to examine the relationship between prenatal titanium exposure and the risk of CHDs in offspring. Methods: We looked back on a birth cohort study that was carried out in our hospital between 2010 and 2012. The associations between titanium exposure and the risk of CHDs were analyzed by using logistic regression analysis to investigate titanium concentrations in maternal whole blood and fetal umbilical cord blood. Results: A total of 97 case groups and 194 control groups were included for a nested case-control study. The [P Conclusion: Titanium can cross the placental barrier and the occurrence of CHDs may be related to titanium exposure.
