Chemical Pollutant Exposure in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Integrating Toxicogenomic and Transcriptomic Evidence to Elucidate Shared Biological Mechanisms and Developmental Signatures.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rapid industrialization has introduced a range of chemicals into the environment, posing significant risks to fetal and child brain development. Using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), we constructed chemical exposome frameworks for seven neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and identified chemical pollutants of epidemiological concern, including air pollutants (n = 8), toxic elements (n = 14), pesticides and related compounds (n = 18), synthetic organic chemicals (n = 16), and solvents (n = 5). Gene set enrichment analysis validated and revealed significant toxicogenomic associations between these chemical pollutants and NDDs, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (12 pollutants, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) 3.56-7.21) and intellectual disability (ID) (9 pollutants, PRR 3.13-5.59). Functional annotation of pollutant-specific gene sets highlighted shared biological processes, such as metabolic processes (e.g., xenobiotic metabolic process, xenobiotic catabolic process, and cytochrome P450 pathway) for ASD and cognitive processes (e.g., cognition, social behavior, and synapse assembly) for ID (Bonferroni-corrected
