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

Introduction: Recently, issues related to climate change and endocrine-disrupting chemicals have come to the forefront. In particular, the pursuit of convenience has led to increased exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in daily life, posing threats to reproductive health, including infertility and cancer. Therefore, this study aims to develop a questionnaire to assess the reproductive health behaviors of Koreans for reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and to verify its reliability and validity. Materials and method: This methodological study involved 288 adult men and women in South Korea and conducted item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The developed survey questionnaire consists of four factors and 19 detailed items related to reproductive health behaviors and reproductive health promotion behaviors through the main exposure routes of endocrine-disrupting chemicals: food, respiratory pathways, and skin absorption. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that research on reproductive health behaviors aimed at reducing EDC exposure will expand, considering various environments such as national and ethnic differences.
