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

Arsenic occurs as a natural contaminant of drinking water supplies in arsenic endemic areas, posing a threat to public health. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between urinary arsenic concentrations and spontaneous pregnancy loss in a population with low-moderate level drinking water arsenic exposure (mostly <10 μg/L). We enrolled 150 women with incident spontaneous pregnancy losses and 150 controls with ongoing pregnancies matched by gestational age. We measured arsenic species in urine using high performance liquid chromatography paired to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Urinary arsenic was not related to spontaneous pregnancy loss in conditional logistic regression models adjusted for confounding factors. However, a 10 μg/L increase in urinary arsenic (III + V) salt concentrations was associated with 8.00-fold (95% CI: 0.68, 3.35 × 10
