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

Environmental racism poses a significant threat to child health. It is a major contributor to disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards that are linked to adverse health outcomes. This narrative review shows the profound impact that environmental racism poses to healthy child development through 3 examples. Historical redlining provides compelling evidence of how historical policies continue to influence neighborhoods' physical and social conditions. Exploring chemicals in beauty products reveals how anti-Black perceptions of beauty work to expose children of color to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Finally, by exploring childhood lead exposure, we see how decades of inequitable implementation of lead exposure prevention policies contribute to persistent disparities in the United States today. Fixing these structural issues is complex and will require political will and investment. Yet, individual clinicians play an important role in their local communities in protecting children from the harms of environmental racism, through education, genuine collaboration with the community, and advocacy.
