Exposure to Multiple Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Associations with Female Infertility: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Environment & health (Washington, D.C.), 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
Parabens (PBs) and their metabolites (MBs), triclocarban (TCC), triclosan (TCS), bisphenols (BPs), benzophenones (BzPs), and phthalate metabolites (mPAEs) are typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) used in industrial production and daily life. Studies have suggested that these EDCs affect the reproductive system and may cause infertility; however, epidemiological evidence linking EDC exposure to infertility is still lacking. Herein, a total of 302 serum samples from women of reproductive age were collected, and six categories of typical EDCs were analyzed. The results revealed that EDCs are ubiquitous in female serum. The geometric mean (GM) concentrations of ∑PBs, ∑MBs, ∑(TCS+TCC), ∑BPs, ∑BzPs, and ∑mPAEs were 3.36, 297, 3.87, 4.39, 0.257, and 4.56 ng/mL, respectively. The serum concentrations of ∑PBs, ∑MBs, ∑(TCS+TCC), and ∑mPAEs from infertile women (GM: 4.16, 397, 4.01, and 7.33, respectively) were higher than those from fertile women (2.45, 192, 3.65, and 2.27, respectively) (
