1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Exposure to pyrethroids, a widely used agricultural, forestry, and household insecticide, is a major public health concern due to its potential health effects on children. The aim of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of the effects of prenatal exposure to pyrethroids on the course and outcome of pregnancy, health status, and neurobehavioural development of children. A systematic and comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted during January-February 2024. The review included original articles published in peerreviewed English-language journals since 2015. Based on keywords, 198 studies were identified and screened for eligibility. Ultimately, the review analyzed 25 articles including 16 that assessed the effects of prenatal exposure to pyrethroids on children's neurobehavioural development, 3 studies that assessed the effects on the course and outcome of pregnancy, and further 3 focused on respiratory disease. In addition, 1 study analyzed the development of obesity and 2 studies examined the effects on children's growth, weight and body composition in early childhood. In conclusion, there is considerable uncertainty about the adverse effects of prenatal exposure to pyrethroids on children's health. The strongest evidence has been reported for neurobehavioural development although results are also inconsistent. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of action and health effects of pyrethroids in susceptible populations. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(4):381-402.
