Airborne phthalate exposures and hypertension in the Sister Study.
Article in Journal of hazardous materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHypertension affects nearly a billion people globally, but the association between airborne phthalates and hypertension remains unclear.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 47,465 women from the Sister Study. Exposure to airborne bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) was estimated using the US Environmental Protection Agency's 2005 National Air Toxics Assessment database linked to participants' addresses. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mm Hg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg, or use of antihypertensive medications. Prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariable log-binomial regression. We further used quantile-based g-computation to assess the joint effect and conducted analyses stratified by race/ethnicity.
resultsDEHP (PR
conclusionsAirborne phthalate exposures were associated with higher hypertension prevalence, especially among women other than non-Hispanic White.
