Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Relation to the Participant-Reported Total Pregnancy and Live Birth Numbers among Reproductive-Aged Women in the United States.

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
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), widely utilized in various industries, may pose potential reproductive well-being risks. However, the research on the impact of PFAS exposures on pregnancy and live birth rates remains scarce. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study using the data from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 2013 and 2018. We focused on six PFAS compounds measured in the serum of women aged 20 to 50 years, employing the Poisson regression, Quantile G-composition (Qgcomp), and Weighted Quantile Sum (WQS) regression models. Adjusting for age, racial/ethnic origin, educational level, marital status, family income, body mass index (BMI), menarche age, birth control pill use, and other female hormone consumption, the Poisson regression identified significant negative associations between the individual PFAS exposures and pregnancy and live birth numbers (
