Fluoride-related changes in the fetal cord blood proteome; a pilot study.
Article in Research square, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Fluoride exposure during pregnancy has been associated with various effects on offspring, including changes in behavior and IQ. To provide clues to possible mechanisms by which fluoride affects human fetal development, we completed proteomic analyses of cord blood serum collected from second-trimester pregnant women residing in Northern California with either high or low fluoride exposure, as identified by maternal serum fluoride concentrations. Objective: To identify changes in cord blood proteins associated with maternal serum fluoride concentration in pregnant women living in Northern California. Methods: The proteomes of 19 archived second-trimester cord blood samples representing highest and lowest serum fluoride concentrations from a cohort of 48 women living in Northern California, previously analyzed for serum, urine and amniotic fluoride concentrations, were characterized by mass spectrometry. Proteins highly correlated to maternal serum fluoride concentrations were identified, and further compared in a group of samples from women with the highest serum fluoride to the group with the lowest maternal serum fluoride concentrations. Results: Nine cord blood proteins were significantly correlated with maternal serum fluoride concentrations. Six of these proteins, including apolipoprotein B-100, delta homolog 1, coagulation factor X, mimecan, plasma kallikrein, and vasorin, were significantly decreased in the cord blood from women with the highest serum fluoride levels. Conclusion: Changes in the relative amounts of second trimester cord blood proteins included proteins associated with the development of the fetal hematopoetic system.
