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

Background: It is uncertain if exposure to BPA and its substitutes has an impact on renal function, including N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), which is an early marker for kidney injury. We aimed to (1) Estimate the daily intakes (DIs) of BPA and its substitutes using individual urinary levels and conduct the cumulative risk assessment of bisphenols. (2) Assessed the association between exposure to BPA and its substitutes with various renal function indices using a dose-based and cumulative risk assessment approach. Methods: We recruited 366 participants, and three bisphenols (BPA, bisphenol F, and bisphenol S) were analyzed through ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. DI levels were calculated for each bisphenol. Hazard index (HI) values were calculated for determining cumulative risk. Using the renal function index, we measured the serum and urinary level (e.g., microalbumin, NAG). The NAG/Creatinine ratio (> 4 IU/g creatinine) and other renal functions indexes based on clinical cut-off points to defined abnormality. Results: After adjustment for covariates, increased NAG/Creatinine ratios were associated with higher DIs of BPA, showing a dose-response trend (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] Conclusion: We found a sensitive risk factor for abnormal NAG/creatinine levels after exposure to BPA and its substitute. Further mechanistic studies are needed to clarify these associations.
