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
Fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) has recently attracted interest as it is increasingly used in industrial settings as a substitute for Bisphenol A (BPA). However, the effects of BHPF exposure on embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal, pluripotency, and differentiation remain poorly understood. This study investigates the impacts of BHPF on mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and embryonic bodies (EBs). Our results reveal that BHPF exposure leads to a morphological shift in mESCs, reducing the percentage of dome-shaped colonies and indicating loss of self-renewal and pluripotency. BHPF exposure also appeared to affect the early stages of EB formation and their growth dynamics, with a reduction in EB numbers and an increase in their size. Subsequent gene expression analysis revealed that BHPF exposure led to increased expression of the inflammatory gene Il6, indicating a potential stress response. Furthermore, BHPF affected the terminal differentiation pathway, modulating the expression of 16 genes associated with distinct cell types, including lymphatic endothelium, keratinocyte epithelium, pancreatic beta cells, macrophages, monocytes, T-cells, neurons, retinal ganglion cells, nephrons proximal tubule cells, and cardiomyocytes. These findings offer insights into the impact of BHPF on ESC biology and suggest potential implications for developmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Future work should focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms of BHPF-mediated effects on stem cell function. This may offer new perspectives for understanding the health impacts of environmental exposure to BHPF.
