Residential proximity to agricultural herbicide and fungicide applications and dust levels in homes of California children.
Article in Environment international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundFew studies of the relationship between residential proximity to agricultural pesticide applications and pesticide levels in the home have incorporated crop location or wind direction. We evaluated the relationship between agricultural pesticide applications using the California Pesticide Use Reporting (CPUR) database and pesticide concentrations in carpet dust accounting for land use and wind direction.
methodsWe measured concentrations (ng/g) of seven herbicides and two fungicides in carpet dust samples from 578 California homes (2001-2007). We created three metrics by computing the density (kg/km
resultsDetections were >90 % for glyphosate, 2,4-D, and simazine. Detection rates and dust concentrations increased with increasing CPUR densities for all herbicides and one fungicide. Compared to homes without applications within 4 km, the highest tertile of 365-day glyphosate use was associated with ∼100 % higher concentrations (CPUR
conclusionsAgricultural herbicide and fungicide use was an important determinant of indoor contamination within 4 km of homes. Accounting for crops and wind direction did not substantially change these relationships.
