Relationship between mixed exposure to phenyl hydroxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and phthalates and the risk of arthritis.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundTo determine the relationship between mixed exposure to three types of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), namely phenyl hydroxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and phthalates (PAEs), and risk of arthritis.
methodsParticipants were selected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The relationships between the urinary concentrations of phenyl hydroxides, PAHs, and PAEs and the risk of arthritis were analyzed by generalized linear regression model. The mixed exposure to these EDCs and the risk of arthritis was analyzed by weighted quantile sums (WQSs) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model.
resultsOur analysis showed that participants with urinary benzophenone-3 and methylparaben concentrations in the highest quartile (Q4) had an increased risk of arthritis compared with those in Q1. For each one-unit increase in the natural logarithm-converted urinary concentrations of 1-hydroxynapthalene and 2-hydroxynapthalene, the risk of arthritis increased by 5% and 8%, respectively. Chemical mixing index coefficients were significantly associated with risk of arthritis in both WQS positive- and negative-constraint models. In the BKMR model, there was a significant positive correlation between mixed exposure and the risk of arthritis.
conclusionMixed exposure to phenyl hydroxides, PAHs, and PAEs increased the risk of arthritis, with exposure to PAHs being the key factor.
