Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) Disruption of Thyroid Hormone Synthesis.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of environmental pollutants that have been linked to a variety of health problems in humans, including the disruption of thyroid functions. Herein, for the first time, the impact of PFAS on thyroid hormone synthesis is shown. Mid- to long-chain PFAS impact thyroid hormone synthesis by changing the local hydrogen bond network as well as the required orientation of hormonogenic residues, stopping the production of thyroxine (T4). Furthermore, the toxic effects of sulfonic PFAS are more prominent than those of carboxylic PFAS, highlighting that the exposure to these specific compounds can pose greater problems for thyroid homeostasis.
