The association between ethylene oxide and testosterone in the United States population: a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016.
Article in Endocrine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeEthylene oxide (EO) is a prevalent industrial contaminant found in the environment and is related to various diseases such as cancers and hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, the association between EO and testosterone has not been explored. The aim of this article was to evaluate the relationship between EO and total testosterone (TT) in the United States population.
methodsIn this study, hemoglobin ethylene oxide (HbEO) levels were utilized to evaluate the exposure to EO. The data of this study were collected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016. A total of 3300 participants were enrolled in this study and were separated into 5 groups based on the quintile of HbEO. Weighted multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between HbEO and TT. Subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the connection between HbEO and TT in different stratifications.
resultsIn the results, there was a positive relationship between log
conclusionThe level of HbEO was positively related to TT in the U.S. population and the relation was more obvious in men compared to women.
