Cardiovascular health behaviour, acrylamide exposure and health risk assessment of adolescents.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe presence of acrylamide at different levels in many foods in our daily diet is a very alarming situation for public health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acrylamide exposure of adolescents resulting from the consumption of French fries in terms of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks and to reveal its relationship with heart health.
methodsThis study was conducted on adolescents aged 13-15 years living in Türkiye. Firstly, a scale with tested reliability was used to determine the heart health behaviours of adolescents. Then, the acrylamide exposure levels were determined according to the deterministic model by taking the french fries consumption data of the adolescents for a retrospective 24-hour period. Acrylamide exposure level was then evaluated in terms of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks. Statistical differences between the groups were analysed by independent t test, Mann Whitney U test, Welch Test and Kruskal Wallis Test. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was used to determine the degree of non-causal relationships.
resultsAll adolescents showed normal cardiovascular behaviour (63 ± 11). The acrylamide exposure level of all adolescents from French fries consumption ranged between 0-2.60 µg/kg/day. The mean THQ (Target Hazard Quotient) value for all adolescents was 0.11 ± 0.27 and the mean CR (Carcinogenic risk) value was 1.10E-05 ± 2.69E-04. Since the THQ value was lower than the reference value, the consumption of French fries was considered safe for adolescents. However, the CR value indicates the presence of potential carcinogenic health risks. There was no statistical difference between the acrylamide exposure level, THQ and CR values according to the cardiovascular behaviour scores of adolescents, whereas a statistical difference was found only between the BMI (body mass index) subcategories.
conclusionThe acrylamide exposure level calculated for adolescents is relatively high compared to other studies in the literature. Carcinogenic health risks associated with the consumption of French fries have been identified. It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to the studies and strategies to be developed to reduce dietary acrylamide exposure.
