Spatial Trends and Health Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in San Francisco Bay Fish from 2009 to 2019.
Article in ACS ES&T water, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Consumption of contaminated food, especially seafood, is a key source of human perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure. Here, we examine the occurrence of PFAS in shiner surfperch (Cymatogaster aggregata), striped bass (Morone saxatilis), white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus), and seven other sport fish from San Francisco Bay, California, U.S. over a decade of monitoring to assess the potential risks from dietary exposures. In fish collected in 2009, 2014, and 2019, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) was predominantly detected at levels exceeding PFOS consumption advisory thresholds established in other U.S. states. The southern regions of San Francisco Bay have been especially impacted, with over 80% of samples above the strictest U.S. PFOS consumption advisory threshold set in Massachusetts (for one eight-ounce serving a week) at 3.5 ng/g (detected range: 2.0-18 ng/g ww) compared to only 8% in the other subembayments (detected range: 0.59-8.5 ng/g ww). An additional 19 PFAS were detected, with particularly elevated levels of 7:3 fluorotelomer carboxylic acid (7:3 FTCA) found in several species and sites, representing the first observations in marine fish globally. These findings indicate the need to consider a wider range of PFAS in assessing dietary exposure risks and environmental impacts.
