Prenatal Perfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure in Association with Global Histone Post-Translational Methylation in 2-Year-Old Children.
Article in Toxics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have elimination half-lives in years in humans and are persistent in the environment. PFASs can cross the placenta and impact fetal development. Exposure to PFASs may lead to adverse effects through epigenetic mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate whether prenatal exposure to perfluorooctyl sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUA) was associated with global histone methylation level changes among the 130 2-year-old children followed-up in a birth cohort study in Taiwan. PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, and PFUA were measured by UHPLC/MS/MS in cord blood. Global histone methylation levels were measured from the blood leukocytes of 2-year-old children by Western blotting. Multivariable regression analyses were applied to adjust for potential confounding effects. Among the 2-year-old children, an IQR increase in the natural log-transformed PFUA exposure was associated with an increased H3K4me3 level by 2.76-fold (95%CI = (0.79, 4.73),
