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

introductionExposure to synthetic phenols is suspected to affect child respiratory health, but epidemiological findings are not consistent and studies on exposure during infancy are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between exposure to a mixture of phenols in pregnancy and infancy and children's respiratory health.

methodsAmong 363 mother-child pairs from the Suivi de l'Exposition à la Pollution Atmosphérique durant la Grossesse et Effets sur la Santé cohort, 12 phenols were measured in weekly-pooled urine samples collected twice during pregnancy (second and third trimesters) and in infancy (2 months and 1 year). Children's lung function was assessed through tidal breathing flow-volume loops and nitrogen multiple-breath washout at 2 months, and standard and intra-breath oscillometry at 3 years. Time-specific phenol exposure profiles were identified through cluster analysis and then studied in association with respiratory health using adjusted regression models.

resultsTwo exposure profiles were identified at each point in time, characterised by low

conclusionUsing repeated and accurate assessments of phenol exposure, this study provides evidence of the deleterious effects of early-life exposure to a mixture of phenols on lung function in preschool children.
