Prenatal ambient air pollution associations with DNA methylation in asthma- and allergy-relevant genes: findings from ECHO.
Article in Environmental epigenetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Prenatal exposure to air pollution is an important risk factor for child health outcomes, including asthma. Identification of DNA methylation changes associated with air pollutant exposure can provide new intervention targets to improve children's health. The aim of this study is to test the association between prenatal air pollutant exposure and DNA methylation in developmental and asthma-/allergy-relevant biospecimens (placenta, buccal, cord blood, nasal mucosa, and lavage). A subset of 2294 biospecimens collected from 1906 child participants enrolled in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes program with prenatal air pollutant and high-quality Illumina Asthma&Allergy DNA methylation array measures (
