Joint probability modeling of data from California homes suggests strong correlations between annual and past month pesticide use in NHANES 1999-2004.

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
The health risks associated with chronic home pesticide use are not fully understood, partly due to a scarcity of large-scale studies containing the requisite data on long-term exposure. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004, which includes data on indoor and outdoor pesticide use in the past month, offers a potential resource. If past-month use reflects long-term exposure, the NHANES data could facilitate investigation into the health risks associated with chronic pesticide use. To address this question, this study evaluates the correlation between long-term and past-month pesticide use. Using data from 477 California households, joint probability models were constructed to calculate the correlation between categories of annual pesticide use frequency and the binary indicator of past-month use. The model results indicated strong correlations: 0.766 for indoor spray and 0.733 for outdoor spray in the California sample. Additional data from other U.S. regions also suggests a strong link between these variables. Overall, the findings support the utilization of past-month pesticide use as a good proxy for chronic use, validating the use of the NHANES 1999-2004 data for the exploration of the health risks associated with chronic residential pesticide exposure.
