Mono(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate Disrupts Mitochondrial Function, Dynamics and Biogenesis in Human Trophoblast Cells at Human Exposure Range Concentrations.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), a bioactive metabolite of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), has been detected in the placenta and urine of pregnant women and is linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, its effects on mitochondrial homeostasis in trophoblast cells remain incompletely understood. This study examined the impact of MEHP (0.5-200 µM) on mitochondrial function, dynamics, and biogenesis in human HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells. MEHP (≥5 µM) reduced MTT conversion without compromising membrane integrity, suggesting early metabolic or redox imbalance. A dose-dependent loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was observed, with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation only at 200 µM. MEHP modulated the expression of mitochondrial dynamics genes, with a more pronounced mitofusin 1 (
