Air pollutants and ovarian reserve: a systematic review of the evidence.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Growing evidence indicates an association between ambient air pollution and decreased human reproductive potential. This study aims to systematically review the association between air pollutants and female ovarian reserve. Methods: The literature was searched in six electronic databases through June 2024. Screening the 136 articles retrieved for inclusion criteria resulted in the selection of 15 human observational studies that evaluated the effect of environmental pollutants on ovarian reserve markers. The study protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, registration code: CRD42023474218). Results: The study design of the selected studies was found to be cross-sectional (2 of 15), retrospective cohort (10 of 15), prospective cohort (2 of 15), and case-control (1 of 15). The study population was distributed as follows: Asians (53%, eight studies), Americans (33%, five studies), and Europeans (14%, two studies). The main findings showed a higher body of evidence for the environmental pollutants PM2.5, PM10, and NO Conclusion: The data suggest that increased exposure to air pollutants seems to be associated with reduced ovarian reserve, with the most substantial evidence for pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, and NO
