A simulation study on the temperature-dependent release of endocrine-disrupting chemicals from polypropylene and polystyrene containers.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Due to the ubiquity of plastic packaging, this study evaluated the release of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) into liquid foods at various temperatures. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods were used to identify EDCs, including phthalates (BBP, DEHP, DBP), bisphenol A (BPA), and nonylphenol (NP) from cups and containers made of polypropylene (PP) and general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS). The distilled water in PP and GPPS contained no EDCs at 4-10 °C. DEHP, DBP, BBP, BPA, and NP were found in water contained in PP cups and containers at higher temperatures (40-100 °C), with DEHP released the most at 100 °C (1242.5 ± 53.0 ng/L and 1615.3 ± 68.9 ng/L) for water contained in cups and containers, respectively. No BPA, DBP, or BBP was found in the contents of GPPS cups or containers at any temperature. The average EDCs released from PP cups and containers at every storage temperature was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than GPPS. These findings highlight the importance of temperatures and material composition in plastic packaging for food safety. Consumers should be careful when using plastic cups and containers, especially at higher temperatures, as EDC release can pose health risks.
